Very good to listen to what they went through....especially about the ' hot ' brakes.

Slightly off topic here....Whilst at RAAF Amberley in the 70's..... we had one come in ...and on landing...both main wheels ' blew ' on touchdown ...one after the other.
2 massive ' bangs ' were heard by everyone on Base when it occurred....once the Aircraft was stationary .....the ' Disc Brake Calipers ' were at the point of being ' white hot ' ...they were still ' glowing ' 15minutes after the event....and of course 3 fire Tenders were on hand.
