Detention.......??

I've been watching old cartoons, they were pretty violent. Hasn't effected me, I have no need to do what I watched.

I wonder how many landings like that before those tires have to be replaced?

I've heard that the tires are a one shot deal, part of maintenance? But my profession was automotive not aircraft.

Look closely - on a B-52 the entire undercarriage "crabs" to the side so crosswind landings will be less stressful on the tires and landing gear. They can land and taxi with the nose of the plane pointed off to the side up to 20°. They're good for a few hundred landings as long as they're not out of the ordinary, from what I've read. The landings in the video are considered "ordinary" for a BUFF.

Nah, they use 'em till they're about to fall apart. You should see the wear visible on tires at an airshow!

Makes sense I was in charge of my company's, later battalion headquarters parts department and vehicle rotation for 82nd Airborne you think the Army could wear out and wreck things....unless you've seen a heavy drop go bad, you have no idea.

By the way before the question arises yes I have mentioned before I was in the 18th Airborne Corp.... 18th Airborne Corp, 530th S&S Battalion 503rd Maintainence Co. Later chief at Battalion Headquarters decided to begin "The ORF" section, and pulled me and my new NCO who happened to be a buddy of mine away from 503rd and we were then permanently assigned to Battalion HQ.

section I received all of 82nds destroyed vehicles and issued new ones, so yeah I have seen some really trashed trucks!

As long as you can't see cord, they are good to go.

from your article "Replacing airplane tires is a complex operation that requires specialized equipment and trained personnel."

Depends on the aircraft I suppose. I change the tires on my Grumman Cheetah myself, just a floor jack and wrenches.
