AW139's have previously operated on that taxiway entrance for both the old operators for years , and the new operator since September/October , I understand all without incident. Aircraft appear to have been both towed and self taxi operated onto those spots in the past without any issues.
"No need for any mud slinging" , pardon the pun
No mud slinging, quick pressure wash and off you go? How much to inspect aircraft and get it approved again to fly again, Not really a cheap excursion into the mud.
