Have to be careful to enter the turn with enough energy though. You dont want to blow anything over behind you with thrust! :eek: If the body gear steering is mel'd it gets a little tricky.

Lear.

See Boeing.com website. Outboard main gear is 41' from outside of outboard left main tire to outside of outboard right main tire. 36' from center of outboard axle to center of other outboard axle.
