Narrative:
I was on my last load of the day coming into the ZZZ airport to land. I did my visual checks to see if there was any traffic. I did not realize there was traffic until I was on final somebody was landing the other direction. I immediately pulled up and veered to the right. I circled around until the airplane got on the ramp and then I landed.
