One of the hardest planes to land in the world, this U-2 spy plane almost tips over too early in the landing sequence after bouncing along the runway. The pilot does the right thing and aborts the landing for a go around.

For those unfamiliar with the US Air Force Lockheed U-2, the aircraft is actually designed to tip over once it comes to a stop on the runway. This allows the ground crew to re-attach wheels under the wings for taxiing.

In this video it almost tipped too soon in the landing sequence and needed to abort.
