That's fine Buzz.
(We wrote the Rules to allow just for this sort of happenstance. Any sort of goof up on the initial takeoff is to be reported but has no effect on the pilot's log. The philosophy here it to keep it all lighthearted...as opposed to the RTWR which is meant to invoke precision and intense concentration.)
You have done exactly the right thing. Thanks for showing how it is meant to be done.

Safe landing in Jamaica
that was a shorter runway with water at the end. Failed to manage the airspeed and floated down half the runway before I decided to go around. Next approach I was over the threshold just above the bottom of the white arc and had plenty of runway to spare.
Flight Time: 2:15.05
Landing weight: 85034.2 lbs
Fuel Used: -4139.4

Pretty cool under pressure there buzz,,,,,
Thanks for shaking everybody up in Kingston as I'll be headed that way in a while and now the locals will be ready for the "salt_air show" when me and the Connie turn to final and hopefully land in one piece.
Happy flying!

Preparing for departure. We are carrying a couple of monkeys tonight and they are too excited for flight. We will delay departure for a few minutes while we see if we can get the monkeys to fall asleep
Management insists we carry a maximum payload event when considering the risk of landing heavy.

The flight is currently
takeoff weight 95,210

Uh-Oh
That was an interesting flight. The CAA is still investigating the cause. The captain may have been away from the controls when there was a loss of airspeed. The autopilot tried to keep the nose up, and teh airplane ended up in an unrecoverable stall and nosed down.
Witnesses say all engines were running. Too much airspeed built up, and the pilot must not have been able to pull out when the wings failed.
