Was it pretty uneventful to you? It was to me until my instructor just started FREAKING OUT. I didn't hear anything, the plane just dropped down suddenly on one side as was just shaking a little and pulling to the left. Nothing terrible, but definitly noticable. I was just thinking to myself as we were slowing down "oh we must have blown a ......." and then "OH CRAP!!!" from my instructor. haha

Something tells me he was taking a micro-nap or something. :D

It was during our landing roll. My first reply when we started going to the right was "let go of the brakes!" Then he was like "Dude, you let go of the brakes!" I lifted my feet completely off the rudder pedals then we realized it was a flat. With momentum we manage to turn on A4 and didn't make it past the hold short line. So we basically closed 35L for 15 minutes. It was a bumpy ride back to Bravo though, being towed inside an aircraft with a flat right main. If my instructor isn't shy, he can post on here and fill you in on any other details.;)
 
Why is this thread alive. eeeekkkk

Just got back from my bday weekend in Seattle. Doing my briefing 21 tommorow. Then likely cross country on thursday. Then going to go back and do 19 because I got weathered and went ahead to briefing 20.
