In the case of the C-5 they suspect one brake was dragging during taxi out.Brake temp after takeoff? Do they get that hot during taxi?

Could it have been the same airplane?
Example, we had an airplane with the landing gear deferred down and the company had it doing ORD-SBN turns all day.
TIME OUT!
That is when a Captain needs to earn his pay, call dispatch, and refuse the airplane as that is NOT in the proper usage of a MEL for something as important of a system as the landing gear.
Agreed. We picked up the plane off the overnight in SBN. Had taken off, NLG didn't come up, landed, MX came out and deferred it. Best part is that you can't fly in known or forecasted icing conditions. CIG was OVC004 and temperature in the clouds made it icing conditions. We waited till the sun came up...8 hours later. We figured we were just getting it back to a MX base. Then they wanted us to do ORD-ROA. We said no thanks. So I think they sent it back to SBN later.
I wonder if they could just have fixed the bloody thing while waiting 8 hours.

What is it with the A320 series and leaving the flaps extended in hot weather? Everytime I've flown Airways through PHX in the summer, the flaps were usually left partially extended after landing.
To avoid overheat on fuel actually.
Close enough though!
