how quickly we forget...reversers out and working properly and on time for that southwest at midway would have been helpful.
Perhaps less of a tailwind gust and a properly cleared runway or at least an honest and recent braking action report on said runway beforehand would have made the reversers a non-issue as they should have been.

If we are depending on the relatively meager stopping force of reverse thrust to make or break (should I say brake....) the landing,maybe the entire exercise should be re-thought.


Still, one thing's for certain - it's not exactly a looker! Reminds me of some northern birds on a night out, lots of flesh on show and wedged into a miniskirt
I thought the same until I saw this . . . . hmmm - help me out someone, I know I have spied a lovely angle on this bird in SA paint........ 'quite beautiful as I recall..'
