Narrative:
10 mi out, I make my first call to ATC. Wind speed KTS 160 degrees. ATC tells me to expect runway 16, call 2 out, increase speed. I keep up speed to about 1/2 mi then slip to slow and descend. I call at 2 mi and was cleared to land runway 16. At 1/4 mi, ATC told me to go around. I pulled up and right. ATC then told me to go left and follow the baron. I turned left and got behind the baron. At about 1 1/2 miles out, ATC said he had jet traffic and to go around again. I turned left. ATC said I could get right in on 24. I said ok. ATC cleared me to lnd on runway 24. Landing on runway 24, I was a little fast which pushed me 200 ft past the displaced threshold. About 20 ft off the ground, ATC says stop, stop stop! At this point I am just at touchdown, when I look over the nose of my C140 to see a jet moving very slowly into my runway. I then push the throttle and carburetor heat and pull. I fly over the top of the jet missing by less than one ft. ATC was called on the phone after I landed. He said the jet was told to stop 3 times. Many people saw this and all have said that it looked like we were going to crash. ATC could have given me a little notice and made someone else go around. They never make jets go around. Piston planes go around and around. The slower the plane, the more you are asked to go around. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter alleges that on his second conversation with a tower supervisor that he was told that this was a 'non occurrence', alleging that the jet did not incur his landing runway, and although 'close', was still not a problem from the controllers perspective.

Title: C140 PLT LNDG RWY 24, PWK, EXECUTES EVASIVE GAR WHEN LNDG JET ON RWY 16 INCURS INTO RWY.
Narrative: 10 MI OUT, I MAKE MY FIRST CALL TO ATC. WIND SPEED KTS 160 DEGS. ATC TELLS ME TO EXPECT RWY 16, CALL 2 OUT, INCREASE SPEED. I KEEP UP SPEED TO ABOUT 1/2 MI THEN SLIP TO SLOW AND DSND. I CALL AT 2 MI AND WAS CLRED TO LAND RWY 16. AT 1/4 MI, ATC TOLD ME TO GO AROUND. I PULLED UP AND RIGHT. ATC THEN TOLD ME TO GO LEFT AND FOLLOW THE BARON. I TURNED LEFT AND GOT BEHIND THE BARON. AT ABOUT 1 1/2 MILES OUT, ATC SAID HE HAD JET TFC AND TO GO AROUND AGAIN. I TURNED LEFT. ATC SAID I COULD GET RIGHT IN ON 24. I SAID OK. ATC CLRED ME TO LND ON RWY 24. LNDG ON RWY 24, I WAS A LITTLE FAST WHICH PUSHED ME 200 FT PAST THE DISPLACED THRESHOLD. ABOUT 20 FT OFF THE GROUND, ATC SAYS STOP, STOP STOP! AT THIS POINT I AM JUST AT TOUCHDOWN, WHEN I LOOK OVER THE NOSE OF MY C140 TO SEE A JET MOVING VERY SLOWLY INTO MY RWY. I THEN PUSH THE THROTTLE AND CARB HEAT AND PULL. I FLY OVER THE TOP OF THE JET MISSING BY LESS THAN ONE FT. ATC WAS CALLED ON THE PHONE AFTER I LANDED. HE SAID THE JET WAS TOLD TO STOP 3 TIMES. MANY PEOPLE SAW THIS AND ALL HAVE SAID THAT IT LOOKED LIKE WE WERE GOING TO CRASH. ATC COULD HAVE GIVEN ME A LITTLE NOTICE AND MADE SOMEONE ELSE GO AROUND. THEY NEVER MAKE JETS GO AROUND. PISTON PLANES GO AROUND AND AROUND. THE SLOWER THE PLANE, THE MORE YOU ARE ASKED TO GO AROUND. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: RPTR ALLEGES THAT ON HIS SECOND CONVERSATION WITH A TWR SUPVR THAT HE WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A 'NON OCCURRENCE', ALLEGING THAT THE JET DID NOT INCUR HIS LANDING RWY, AND ALTHOUGH 'CLOSE', WAS STILL NOT A PROB FROM THE CTLRS PERSPECTIVE.
