That is exactly why he put a main wheel in the dirt. On corners like that you have to take the nose wheel almost to the far edge before turning in.
A common but not really forgivable mistake.
I was being facetious, hence the
.
In truth, I do believe that the nose gear ended up on the center line more by accident than design.
By the way, I used to have occasion to operate 727s on some very worrisome narrow taxiways on relatively small airports, some I sweated blood staying on a taxiway to avoid ending up as this G-IV did. A few times I had to send the FE out to guide me through some really tight turns.
That way if I did go off the taxiway, I had someone to blame it on.
Not really, still would have been my fault.
