yotty.
Actually I saw the aircraft arrive from a terminal window looking down onto the nose of the aircraft.
Clearly as the engineers arrived with a jack and spare wheel 45 minutes prior to arrival, they knew about the problem quite early.
It was not my intention to criticise the crew, this is not the right board for that. It just spiked my interest to see if things had improved since my retirement.
Blown tyres interest me after I had one throw a tread on a B747SP during take off and take out a large section of the rear end and hydraulic lines.
Monitoring tyre pressures would probably have prevented that one.
