I think the DC-8 (or 707) that put the gear up while it was on fire was in the Middle East somewhere.

MikeD - I thought if you had a tire blow over 45 knots you would just eject?? Isn't that your get out of jail free card? In the slighest distress safely eject, walk back to the flight line and try again?
