Might have been cool in an F-16........not cool in a 757.

I had that once, too. Landing in Phoenix, but it might have been an Aribus...It was a
really bumpy descent anyway - the kind where everyone is nervous, not just the scared fliers. We were so close to the runway you had then sense of relief - whew, we're landing - when we shot almost straight up, it threw us all back in our seats.
We all just stared at each other, then the pilot came on - "Sorry, there was another plane on our landing runway. We'll try again when the traffic clears."
If that wasn't scary enough, we had to deal with another bumpy descent.
