Stormy Arrivals and Go-Arounds

My trip to get the G600 on a rainy Saturday meant a little time to shoot some of the other arrivals.  The conditions were incredibly variable.  It was hammering down at some points and then sunny for a little while before raining again.  I shot a few jets twice as they got to the threshold before going around and having a second go at it.  The Alaska Cargo 737-700BCF was a lot better the second time.

One of the jets broke off the approach before it even got too close.  Looks like the crews were earning their checks that day.  As an aside, I had a tree fall a short distance from me while I was shooting these arrivals.  There was a loud cracking noise and then the tree gently fell to the ground.  First time I have seen that.
