No big deal. I once did a landing on five, followed by a taxi in, turnaround, looooong taxi out-at CDG, take off and a second landing.
Mind you after all that, the flat one was looking a bit distressed.....

Sounds like a thorough pre-flight? Flexible MEL?

Well. Only three brake temps went up when we landed in Paris so we thought it was a faulty one...but it was a flat tyre. Apparently it looked normal on the walk around, but you'd have to ask my colleague.
It was totally shredded when we next landed, which was at EDI.
Just shrugged and went home.

You or your colleague? It it was you then I just put it down to the sang froid of a true missile man!

Both of us. The engineer was horrified, I looked at my colleague, and he at me. We both shrugged together and left the scene.
