Engine thrust reversal

The pilot of this Gulfstream G550 seems to have a problem with the thrust reversal of an engine, turned off and then put it back, unless the operation is a new form of greeting (Some pilots greet me warmly when I make video).

Gulfstream permit the use of thrust reversers during taxi as a means of reducing the use of the brakes. Nice video

B727 reversals

About 30 years ago at St Louis airport I remember a whole load of B727s reversing away from the terminal using reverse thrust power only.
