Comments | dbr 17.7.2006 a/c landed on rwy 27L at Al Asad AB, Iraq, with the aid of Night Vision Goggles. The pilot braked aggressively and taxied at high speed after landing because the crew were not able to reduce power on the no.2 engine. Three of the four brakes failed and a fire erupted in a wheel well. Firefighters immediately extinguished the fire when the aircraft stopped, but extensive damage was sustained on the left side of the a/c (with 43 AW) | |||||||||||||||
