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.
You are right of course, but from observation, if two are on the apron in the two bays closest the terminal, and a third lands, they will hold on the runway until the third vacates apron and enters and backtracks. Depends on which two slots are occupied at the time, perhaps.
Someone was calling the pilots on the radio, half the Pilbara heard it!!!
Frequency? Didn't think ground staffthere had comms with the aircraft on the apron once they had unplugged from the fuselage jack before departure--can't recall seeing them carrying portables ever? just the time-honoured "wave the chocks at them and a thumbs up?"
