Later that day, around 3pm, a CJ2 or CJ3 taxied off of the taxiway into the grass/mud. Left main sunk to the gear door, and the nose gear was just off of the taxiway. Must have been something in the water up there that day!
Agree with the brother about getting another runway. No good reason to land w a 10 kt tailwind unless it's the only possible option. Landing w 20kts of tailwing would be in the heart of the stupidity envelope.
Meanwhile, the G200 can be a very squirrly machine on the runway, much more so than the avg business jet.
New York approach may not be able to set you up with a better runway, but once you're on with tower they should be able to take care of you. A few weeks ago we were cleared to land on 19 with a 15-20 kt tailwind. We told them we were unable to land with those winds and they promptly offered us 24 without any delay.
