Thanks for the link, good job as usual by VASAviation.
I'm wondering why Air Canada chose to retract the gear with the fighter observing? They had known tire damage and needed to burn off fuel.
They said the left side brake temps were 8's after landing, hopefully the junior ground engineer was able to place those fans in time to prevent the fuse plugs from blowing.
I thought all B-763's had brake temp indications. Tower Dog and others set me straight that this was an option that some carriers like American did not order.
Seems like Air Canada disabled all 767 fuel dump systems years ago to save maintenance costs.
