I guess about 17 years ago or so, an F100 landed at ORD. It couldn't stop...they went off the last turnoff at highspeed skidding around the turn onto the taxiway...finally the copilot reached up and turned OFF the anti skid and they got normal (without anti skid) braking and stopped.

the plane didn't recognize it was on the ground, so no reverse, no spoilers, no anti skid brake.

ALL planes should have a nice big button that says: AIRPLANE YOU ARE ON THE GROUND< ACT LIKE IT.

I so respect planes like the 727 and the DC9...granted, you had to have enough sense to not deploy reversers in flight or ground spoilers in flight...but if you had to, you could!
