Blew off, or blew out?

I can’t imagine that the tires actually blew off the airplane.

I'm not a pilot...but how do you blow tires in take off unless they are in bad shape to start with?

Hey, if you gotta burn off fuel, you may as well continue onto your destination then attempt an emergency landing there. At least that way if you survive, then you’re where you wanted to be.

The good news...

BAF is a controlled airfield with a North/South runway that is 9000+ ft IMMIC and yes National Guard their has the monster fire equipment needed if they need to foam etc to stop a fire or preventive spray before landing. It is not a primary airport, pretty much G.A., Corporate and the Guard. Not as G.A. friendly back in the day when some of us may or may not have earned their wings their...

If it’s Kenneth Copeland, then his congregation better be prepared to shell out another million or two to repair it after it slides down a foamed runway.

It’s Post Malone’s airplane. I have NO idea who that is, but I guess he/she is important enough to warrant TMZ breaking the news that he/she is on it.

One of two things happened, either it was a maintenance issue where something was not put on properly or there was FOD ( foreign object damage ) on the runway and they hit something and cause the tires to blow. It is normal to not retract the gear if you have a tire failure on take off. You don’t know what you’re bringing back into the airplane especially with the maingear you could be bringing a fire inside the wheel well. With the gear extended your range is significantly reduced so it makes sense for them to burn fuel or dump if they have that capability to make landing wait. They don’t need to issues with the airplane, tire failure and an overweight landing.

Post Malone - rapper.

I have to say, I've lost interest in this story.

You can listen live www.liveatc.net

Sounds like landing at BAF ( kbaf on the that website ) might have changed, I don't know where they are headed etc or if they will eventually land @ BAF.
