Ah yes, the 'ole 707-321 straight pipe powered aeroplane.
Brakes?
Ah...better be prepared to GO, as stopping was/could be a slight problem, wet or dry.
Reverse?
Just made noise, and lots of it.

Having rolled 11,600 feet on a 12,000 foot runway with these old aeroplanes a few times, stopping was the last thing on my mind...

L1011-500?
No problem stopping, best brakes I've ever experienced.
Superb.
A few were equipped with autobrakes...even better.
Stop that aeroplane on a dime.
