Need New Tires
I'm sure this has been discussed, but I'm feeling too lazy to search...
Anyone know the story behind this?

the story behind this is the airplane landed with the parking brake set 
probably the pilots having some stupid aircraft systems discussion or the captain trying to pass his wealth of knowledge to an fo who didnt give a crap. haha just kidding, who knows what happened. ask someone at republic, its an MD tail number.

interesting theory but setting the parking brake doesnt actually send pressure to the accumulator it just closes a one way check valve. plus any modern anti-skid controller wouldnt let that happen unless it failed. i wonder if theres an ntsb report on this

The captain set the parking brake handle in flight as a visible reminder that he had the fuel cross feed turned on. Well, he remembered to turn the cross feed off but forgot his obvious visible reminder. I think he changed his technique after this one...
