Flying Public is meh about missing wheel or two

[Let'sgoflying!]

“Probably certified to fly with one less wheel anyway”
”A lot of airplanes have jettisonable wheels, that’s probably it”
”obviously the captain mel’d that wheel”

Time to retire that plane.

You picked a fine time to leave me, loose wheel.

I wonder how many plies the tire had?

Word search shows Delta 6 times, Boeing 17 times

Who owns the airplane? Who operates the airplane? Who is responsible for maintenance?

Maybe it's a new German design for better performance? New set of wheels after every flight!
