For some aircraft, mostly the largest ones, some go arounds can
still result in the gear touching down. They are pretty late in the
game, but there are points at which they cannot stop the descent
soon enough and they will touch down.


At OSH, before they extended R18-36, I watched a T & G by a (NWA?) 747. The
engines were spooling up well before the mains touched down and I don't
believe there was any PAX onboard. Was that a short field proccedure? Or
just for the show? They may have well been able to keep it from settling
down because when they did rotate, it pitched up and climbed like a.....you
know.
