[We were] visual to Runway 26 at ABQ. Approaching from the east and making a right turn to a left base; got one 'Terrain; Terrain' (no 'Pull Up') GPWS warning. I stopped the descent; but we were VMC and neither of us thought we were close to ground contact. Meanwhile; the Tower was vectoring a C-130 on the opposite base leg and looked like there might be a conflict. I was already thinking go-around when finally; on final at about 1;500 AGL we got a visual and audible windshear alert and performed an uneventful go-around. Probably should have performed the escape maneuver but neither of us noticed any loss or gain of performance; but this is possibly because of the terrain and the C-130 so we were looking outside much of the time. After being vectored around we got another one time 'Terrain' warning on base leg. [We] continued to an uneventful landing. Tower never commented on our altitude on either approach.
MD80 First Officer experiences a momentary terrain warning during a day visual approach to Runway 26 at ABQ. On final a windshear alert is annunciated and a go-around is initiated by the First Officer. During the second visual approach to Runway 26 another terrain warning is annunciated but the approach is continued to landing.
