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

There was a mechanic at my local flight school, he used to fly for the
airlines but lost his medical, he said the 727 was a bitch to land well.


Some might say so, but I wouldn't speak of her that way. A sometimes
humbling airplane that often displayed some unexpected personality, she
would never let an ego get too big. Of course, the F/As always would
evaluate, and if the landing involved, shall we say, "noticeable Gs", the
cockpit door might open during rollout, and a roll of toilet paper come
flying in - the "Golden Roll Award". Message received! :-)
