Reverse pitch on the piston engine powered Caribou is permitted after touchdown. 35 years ago in Vietnam it was not uncommon to select full reverse power together with full back stick, just before touchdown. I have personally observed many landing rolls less than 100 ft, but have also experienced [as PNF] one prop stuck in forward pitch. Don't try this at home!
