With all respects to Wander00 (#17) I can trump his mere JP.
On the Vulcan OCU at Scampton, not only did I dig up some undershoot but I roasted and dispersed a very great deal of wheat on the way.

See your Vulcan and raise you a VC10K.
Fortunately I was only taxying at the time - the Navy had sent us down a narrow taxiway at Yeovilton (on the western side of RW04) which had a radius of curvature I couldn't quite manage.... But we didn't get stuck - just muddy! ILAFFT!!
My fault - but they did have the good grace to say "Sorry, we shouldn't have sent you that way...."

If that's soil in the air, is it more likely to come from the wheels or the exhaust, or both together?

My J-shaped twin-track plough of the grass at Helston International using HM's finest single-turbine powered rotary trainer stands out in my memory. EOLs never had the same appeal thereafter. I believe the scars in the turf have only just faded and are no longer visible on Google Earth some thirty six years on.
Still, the QHI in the RHS saw it as good preparation for his later gallantry. He was awarded the DSC for his work over Sir Galahad.
