Inflight reverse thrust

The DC-8 Series 62 and Series 63 both powered by JT3D-7s had inflight reverse thrust capability on the inboard engines.

I first experienced it on an SAS flight to LAX. The sudden roar and deceleration jolted me for a minute. Fortunately, my travelling companion was a former Douglas test pilot who quickly enlightened me.
