Back in the early 80's I used to work at Bahrain and handled LTU Tristars routing Mahe- Bahrain-Dusseldorf. I always remember that they kept the nose up for ages as they went down the runway with the engines at reverse idle. When they arrived on the gate the brakes were cold. We refuelled them during a 30 min transit as the crew stayed on board. Never see anyone doing it nowadays.
