Majuro in the Marshal Islands 1976. 7000 ft sea level runway nil wind. Instructor on 737-200 training new pilots to type. Would land and roll through to the end then 180 at the end and takeoff in reciprocal direction. A form of stop and go. Repeated exercise several times times. 40 minutes later taxied to tarmac for crew changeover only to have tyres deflated due fusible plugs operation caused by excessive heat build up.

Might have been wiser to leave the gear down for the whole exercise. But even then without brake temperature gauges there is way of knowing brake or tyre temperatures.
