As a 767 Captain, I know that the lack of the center hydraulic system will not cause the gear to have an extension problem. All for now.
Where the heck was maintenance in all of this? Wouldn't a mechanic instruct the crews to check that particular breaker when the alternate extension system wasn't working? Odd stuff. Looks like they messed up in the air and on the ground.
