a blown tire? I have blown a tire on a Cessna UC-78 DURING A TOUCH AND GO LANDING! THE STUDENT,a ww11 B-17 co-pilot chopped the power, I slammed them back in, raised the right wheel off the ground took off and returned to the home airport and landed on left main and tailwheel. the 210 pilot obviously had never been taught emergency situations by his first flight instructor. ( STUDENT HAS NOT LEARNED–TEACHER HAS NOT TAUGHT)
