I’m gonna add to it! I just have to. I went to lunch about an hour ago, and there were two planes in a very low pattern (Southwest 737 and another company) in a very different location from normal. Albuquerque metro area. I’ve worked in this area for six and a half years and have never seen this flight path or altitude here. We’re about 10 miles north of the airport, just off I-25, but we’re not on the normal approach (normal approach directions and altitudes are way different from what I saw today). I was wondering if it was an emergency go-around. They were way low considering our distance from the airport - much lower than 1,000 feet, closer to 500 or so.
Maybe an emergency landing in this case as well. Looking for something on the news wires, but nothing as of yet. But I trust this source.
