Hahaha, good luck pulling that sucker out 😀
Know what you mean Homer, not as easy as it sounds. Had a E.E. Lightning do the same once a long time ago. Buried one wheel up to it’s axle and the other just over the tyre. When first inspected, it was found that the high tyre was just about bursting as it had worn to the belts under heavy braking. A strong wire cage was put round it and then the tire was deflated with a .303 bullet fired from a safe distance. The tire blew itself to pieces and the shrapnel was mostly contained. A new wheel fitted and then a heavy lift crane, running on those interlocking runway plates (senior’s moment) had to be used to lift her clear and put her back on the runway. There was no way that sucker was going to be ‘pulled’ out. 😀

Oooops! Am I right in thinking that Sonair is a part of the Sonangol Oil Co?

That’s an F50. You can tell from the cabin windows, props and engine cowlings.
Looks in good nick. Pull it out, clean it up, job done.
