It was interesting to watch the arriving aircraft. Most every other type
did not kick up that much smoke. However, ALL of the 737s did. Even a
similarly sized Embraer managed to pull off a nice touchdown with barely
a puff of smoke.

A good source of income for those who make the tyres. Tut! How cynical.

I don't have any stock in them..... :-)

I know some aircraft have wheels that help the airstream spin the tires to
ease the contact somewhat. I wonder if this is standard on all aircraft or
if it came into use fairly recently?
