I've brought in an A319 and have seen the brakes roasting something good. Walk up to talk to the crew "Hey, this normal?" "yeah" ****ing french. Don't get me started on the positioning of the air start connection...
That's some cool stuff. There's a pretty good show about that plane on Discovery channel from time to time. They also tested the brakes with the plane actually overloaded on the runway. No flames but it was cool to watch.
