Appears to be quite a spacious ( 2 aircraft)apron at PBO compared to some Pilbara regionals. WLP is very tight by comparison, still two aircraft , upper limit is the F-100. No aircraft tugs up here to disengage them, of course.
If you look at the photos there's actually three jets parked there. Spacious if you're in a C152 but probably not in a 717. Interested to hear the thoughts of a 717 driven in how you can strike the tailplane but not the wingtip. I would have thought that if the wingtip made it then everything else should be OK. My only guess would be they straitened out too early instead of turning right around.

Oh course the assumption here is that the Bays have been measured and marked correctly.
