OMEGAV6 "You have me confused ... in just under 10,000 hours on the Hercules I don't remember any levers on the overhead console and I looked at it many, many times ...... I also don't remember anyone "getting up" as soon as touch down occurred .. mostly we were hanging on tight as the 2-winged master race put all 4 throttles to max reverse simultaneously - Ok sometimes in symetrical pairs - any other action being met by a swift response from myself .... no "levers" ever moved "in succession" at that point !!! "
I recall one route, can't exactly rememeber, but it could have been Grosetto, Tuscany.. As we approached the runway exit, I assume the plan was to shut down the outboard pair, as was common practice (K)... For some reason, the 2 winged master race representative on duty that day decided to shut down all 4 engines just before runway departure, hence the GTC was off, and we trundled off the runway in relative silence, before normal service was resumed...
