Narrative:

While in a tight right 90 degree turn followed by a tight left 90 degree turn, I ran over a taxi light. Another airplane or a vehicle called ground who notified us. Our maintenance crew inspected our left gear and we flew on uneventfully, the airport wasnþt made for big airplanes, and maybe I wasnþt either.
