Ethiopian 767 Lands Arusha

Just to answer 4runner nope you can't taxi a caravan clear with a flat tyre ( happened to me in znz) it simply won't work and the aircraft grinds to a halt and unfortunately there is no equipment to move them. Second point about the tyres I think the problem is the hammering they take out on the unprepared bush strips all the arusha pilots will tell you about kogatende airstrip which is a nightmare! Try and get the national parks or CAATZ to fix this and you will get big deaf ears! There are also a couple of very dubious operators that probably let the tyres get below acceptable levels of wear!
