Default Jet Crew: Reverse Thrusters Failed in Chicago - Washington Post

Macklin, with all due respects, since the largest thing you've flown would
fit into a 737 intake duct, why don't you just shut the f*** up and listen
to the people who have flown them.

I've wrenched on them for a few thousand hours and can explain how the
landing gear squat switch works, but I'm not about to do that since my last
honest tweak on them was some forty years ago.

If you don't have direct experience, bug OFF.
