Wow... sounds like you were lucky, considering the guy's history (not to suggest each accident/incident was entirely his fault, but either way, he was not exactly a magnet for good luck, that's for sure).

Now that I look again, it looks like full left rudder (!?). But if he's cobbing the throttle in that 150, he ought to have full right rudder or she's gonna go slewing off to the left... right? That's one hell of a left crosswind (I take it he was drifting to the right of centerline?). Some aileron might've helped (unless he's already levelled off for the go-around). Sigh... as I said earlier, this makes me wistful. Haven't flown in over a year, but I started out in an old but honest 150, and have loved them ever since. In fact, my last flight was some dual in a 150. Not much good for getting anywhere any time soon, but great for learning the ropes or brushing up. And the rental rate's cheap!
Just so happens I have a picture of my first mount: good ol' 86S, taken in the mid-90's.
  Best thing about this one was the rear-view mirror. Actually very useful...
My favorite was a much grubbier 152 that I flew only once... somebody kept bending the fixed rudder trim tab to try to help with the rolling effect at high power settings (especially bad with no passenger), but they bent it the wrong way!!! I missed it  during my preflight, and  was a little bemused as I tried to climb out of TEB with  the rudder not cooperating much at all.  No big deal; flew out to MSV  with plenty of right rudder the whole way, and figured it out after landing there. Bent it back, of course. It was a very good lesson on pre-flighting. And of course: looking at the ol' logbook, I see that it was my first solo to an unfamiliar airport- LOL!! I only flew that one once, but noticed the bent tab several other times. The gang at the FBO would roll their eyes and say "who keeps doing that??"

Not to sound high and mighty or anything (and I saw your wink), but if I'd ever considered going around to be unmanly, I'd have probably been killed a long time ago! Crashing with a perfectly good airplane and a  runway in front of you- now THAT'S a wuss move.
