Narrative:During final approach to Runway 13L at Tyndall AFB, 12 miles east of Panama City, Florida, the pilot had to carry out a go-around due to conflicting traffic. He retracted the undercarriage and re-positioned for a second approach. However, he became distracted by other traffic and apparently did not complete the check list.
