Just curious

Just wondering. It's been a long time since my Gulfstream days.

If they were attempting full reverse thrust, and the nutcracker failed (due to gear being sheared, or otherwise), would the reverser's stow with the levers still up?

I seem to recall the G-III had a reverser restow switch, (In case of an inflight deployment), but I think the G-IV had a much improved system, which eliminated that switch.

I notice some skid marks in one of the pictures.

I wonder if the PF pulled the emergency brake handle, which has no anti-skid protection.

Thanks for any input.
