Good call. It’s pretty friggin hotCooling the brakes?
Probably a downhill, downwind taxi is more the issue.Good call. It’s pretty friggin hot
Just thought it was odd.... I was by the pool and must have watched 3 dozen planes if not more. That was the only time I saw / have ever seen that.
No airplane calls me a retard and gets away with it!It’s also possible the pilots delayed raising the gear just to show that Airbus who’s boss!

That is odd. I would think pools would be pretty common in 'Vegas....

I fly the Bus, and assume the Bus has the plugs like other planes I have flown.
OMG!!! I was blown away with the lack of info as compared to my corporate days.Don't you just love all the "you don't need to know" info that's not in the bus manuals......
