Yeah, imagine bringing pertinent system knowledge into the discussion. The nerve of that guy.
Well, maybe Xray he could have mentioned "maybe" they were on emergency power - depends on which checklist they ran right? "Smoke due to air cond." they would not be on emergency power, and "smoke due to elect." they would.
Also, statement that they would not have "landing flaps" is not quite correct. They would not have "normal" landing flaps - but flaps 15 as someone mentioned. It's been a few years since I flew the mad dog, but I seem to remember Vref flaps 15 speed around 160?? Maybe add a knot or two if the General was non-revving in the back
So, big issue that probably resulted in tires being blown was most likely no anti skid assuming they were on emer. power only. I am by no means bashing the crew - I'm sure they were quite busy getting the plane down while running all those checklists that are enough of pain in the sim and I'm sure they did a great job.
I'm sure Xray could have provided a few of these details as well rather than his response.
