So you're back in France again with your air-defending 8-prop for another exercise you -a francophile **** of a sqn cdr have jacked up. On landing at L'Orient you find that the dispersal for your wreck is too narrow to turn in and surrounded by trees. The French are quite happy for you to leave the beast on the taxiway TFN. Do you:

a. Leave the beast on the taxiway TFN.

b. Shut down on the taxiway, unload and get the gingerbeers to tow the monster in tail-first when they can find a tug.

c. Taxi nose-in and get a tug to pull it out tomorrow .

d. Taxi nose-in then start trying a 180 with the outboard wing chopping through the scrub. Stop when the ginger on the tip discovers a lighting stantion hidden about 5' up-turn of the #4. Shout at the engineers to move it. Shut down when they say they can't - it's a pole sir. Start unloading then notice the tilt on the aircraft because you're off the concrete and are on soggy tarmac which is sinking under the RH wheel. Shout at the engineers to pull it out with the tug that has now arrived (within 5 minutes). They can't, so get then to try and jerk it out. Knacker the French tug and damage the tail wheel oleo. Leave it looking like an abandoned wreck and head off to the hotel where you shout at everyone.
