JF
I'm normally a big fan John, but I suspect that you will find that Fatih is not a native English speaker and must ask how many other languages you can communicate well in with no mistakes....
When I read your post, I thought it must be a troll who has stolen your call-sign, as it did seem a touch intemperate for someone who is normally so annoyingly calm when the rest of us are in virtual fisticuffs....
I hope thats what happened.
Fatih,
You had my sympathy right up until you put your foot in your mouth !

Just like when you're in traffic court and you've been given a slightly lesser fine and no points on your license and you have to say "yes your honor and thank you"
...when someone like JF writes something you don't personally like
please don't whine ,...suck it up and listen!!!... then write an intelligent comment,. ..otherwise it just looks sissy

Guys, i seriously don’t mind someone giving me advice or tips regarding the use of the site, however i do mind when someone degrades me and talks me down , now that’s not on. This form is about news and rumours, and i simply posted a thread which was news to me.

What a waste of time
In 36 years of flying, I have visited this site about 20 times.
For a professional pilot, this web site is still a waste of time. This entire thread is proof of the problem.
What a pity. I'll visit it again in a few years.

35Year Pilot
No I disagree with you there. Sure there is rubbish on these boards, some, if not all of my contributions, included.
I started learning to fly 40 plus years ago and have been at it 38 years professionally and still learning.
If you have been flying 35 years I sincerely hope you will be aware, "the day you stop learning, is the day you should give up"
There are many talented authors that contribute to the forums on this site, therefore there is a wealth of good information to be had. JF's pedigree cannot be questioned.

Guys,
I'm rather disappointed at the replies 'faith' has received.
This is a 'spotters' forum, no credentials are required for posting here and it is to be expected that many will have no professional aviation experience. Aviation enthusiasts asking questions to other enthusiasts or posting info that may interest others is, I assume the main purpose of this forum.
I'm happy to see a 'spotter' "ask what was that big noisy thing that went over my house yesterday"
If people don't like amateur 'spotter' posts and questions I wonder what is the point of this section of PPRUNE.
Lets keep it friendly here guys

Just delighted that a person of John Farley's emminence takes the trouble to read the Spectators Forum. We all get out of bed the wrong side now and again. Worst things happening in the world, move on guys.

Seriously, I know this is just adding to the rubbish on this thread but who is J farley and who cares. I know many who I think are like him, wearing the long sleved shirts and complaining about stuff that really does not matter. Why are so many people defending him? Do you know him? He made a pretty derogatory post towards the OP who just thought people may be interested in what happened to an A380, in the spotters forum!
ho cars wht speling peple use it dose not matter, du u understnd wht I am sying? If u do thn wht is the problum? People who pick apart a post just due to spelling have a serious issue, get a life, some people who use this forum do not speak English as a first language. Even if he does, WHO CARES!!!!! It is not the spelling and grammar forum. I was interested to read about the A380, had no idea it had happened. Thanks for enlightening me.

Guys, the thread started in the Rumours section and was transfered here. Personally I think Rumours should be left to the professionals and this section to everyone else. Still doesn't excuse the curt responses from them though.
...to get back to my question, anyone know why it couldn't be towed and had to have the tire changes done on the runway?

fatih....keep the posts comming
Last I heard, this forum was for "rumor and news", and, well, I think this was news. Now, there are those that get a might testy especially if it's news they might not want to hear ( ie, an Aurbus kinda guy reading something bad about an Airbus ), and there are those that respect the desire and contribution to this forum by it's members regardless of what the specifics of the "subject" may be. So, "fatih", if you see something of interest, please keep on posting.
I'm sure if I mispelled anything, the gentle readers here would be just as kind to me, so don't take it too serious.

BBC News Website: link to video footage
For anyone interested, video footage is on the BBC website here:
BBC News - Qantas plane tyres burst during landing at Sydney airport
I have not flown on the A380, but I was surprised to see that passengers can watch the feed from the camera positioned on the aircraft's tail on their seat-back monitors.
Am I correct in thinking that that same feed appears on the flightdeck too? Does allowing passengers to watch it not just cause unnecessary alarm in such a situation? Any thoughts?

Not a Driver (Airframe).
I was on the 'mendum' side of 'You bendum, we mendum.'
I never did hear of anyone changing a tyre on an a/c!
It was always the complete wheel assembly.

100% with Fatih on this one. Perhaps not the most stunning thread but better than some (has anyone seen the 'what to wear on a flight thread' ).
Only error may have been posting onto Rumours (normally the preserve of pilots only) and not Spotters, as another poster has eluded to already. That said if you didn't know and are new it's sad you get talked down to!
