Back when I used to base a 172 at KPHX, "flying" the plane on the taxiway
was not unusual. When taxiing behind a 7x7, you never knew when they were
going to add a burst of power. On occasion, it was enough to lift the
nosewheel.

I never had any incidents in the 7-8 yrs. I based there, but every year or
so, some inattentive GA pilot would get caught facing 90 degrees to the jet
blast and get tipped over.
