I saw Maverick do that once but it was because they wouldn't serve him any more beer.

1983. I was a co-pilot on a Twin Otter with a famous Swiss Bradley Air Services pilot who was tasked to fly to CYSR with a spare wheel assembly for a B-732. We were on wheel-skies at the time but launched anyway. We arrived at night. On landing, one of OUR main tires started to go flat. Karl extended the wheel-skis and we slid to a stop adjacent the stranded 737. Neither of us had worked on a large jet (that's what it was to us at the time) before. But in those days, and Karl was no exception, most of Bradley's Twin Otter drivers were AME's in a previous life. We parked our partially disabled bird, hauled out the spares and made our way to the Nordair 737. With all said and done and no left over parts, the 737 departed uneventfully, and so did we with their lifeless wheel. It was March, so the takeoff was uneventful; the landing in CYRB was uneventful. There was superficial damage to our skis, repaired in half a day.

It's not rocket science.

Unless you're in India. Then, you quit your contract!!!!!!!!!
