Nope. That is what we are trained for.

Prepare for every takeoff to be rejected at high speed.
Prepare for every landing to end up in a go around.
Be pleasantly surprised when you complete a takeoff and complete a landing.

You have my complete respect because it sounds like you were / are an excellent pilot. The pilot of the 737 made that look routine. Landings at Midway are scary enough.

When you land at a naval air station the tower/ATC require the old “Landing check list complete. Ready for the go round.”

Correction: When you land at a naval air station the tower/ATC require the old “Gear down and locked. Landing check list complete. Ready for the go round.”

Fixed it.
