That was one of the worst approaches i have ever had to fly.  I was in the G550 on P002, conditions were terrible i got caught in a major rain and wind storm, trying to navigate the mountains and line up for that runway was just awful.  At least no one was hurt right.  Because you wouldnt want to have to fill out all the forms if they were.

I had to make two go-arounds because at first there was a huge cloud blocking the Runway, so I could not report it in sight, then the second time I was cleared to go Visual RW27 then Circle to RW9, but the mountains blocked me from circling safetly!! Then third time (Visual RW9), CRASH!!!!

As far as I know there were no major injuries; a bit of Whiplash for Myself and The passengers and a "hurting" neck for the Co-Pilot.
