(-23) The pilot had completed a landing and the aircraft was in 3 point taxi position preparing to clear the runway when windshear from the rear of the aircraft lifted it off the ground. The aircraft settled onto the tarmac when second stronger blast lifted the aircraft up again, pointing it nose down, with the left wing low.
