Default RAAF C-17 missed approach YSSY

Just for info...

Earlier this afternoon (around 1315) one of the RAAF C17's did a missed approach on Rwy 16R as part of a training exercise. The go-around was done quite late, with the aircraft showing good climb performance and an early right turn.
It apparently came in from Amberley.

I watched it from a pretty good vantage point near 16R threshold.

Looked awesome on approach - much more of a surprise once it performed the go around.
