    After returning from the officer basic course, I had my first drill back with my unit. I asked another second lieutenant how annual training went. I wanted to know what prompted my commander’s urgent email. He told me half of the company and the battalion commander were almost killed. This is the story of what happened.

    We shot another visual approach and landed the plane without incident, but as we talked about what happened after shutting down, I had a lot of questions as to why things unfolded the way they did. That was my first true go-around situation, and I just couldn’t understand why the tower would clear the Cessna to land in front of us.
