Apparently....yes.

On 2 occasions, same route legs 1 and 2 but different aircraft. The second sector yes, the wheels seemed to continued to run for a while after gear retraction, from her point of view, and after the main gear doors had closed. She had mentioned it on the first leg with little or no response and certainly no follow up. Second time reported it to the CSD but it went no further and the flight deck said it seemed normal to them so not to worry about it. It was as much my trying to explain the system and how it worked on the bus I now fly and the previous type (albeit a first generation classic that had a big wood and rubber block rubbing strip for the nose gear) and wondering how the 74/77 systems by Boeing worked in comparison. Thanks
