Good thing the hyd. failed after successful landing. Secondly, good
thing there were no sparks to ignite the leaking fuel.

Interesting . . . but what motive force does the plane use to deploy
the reversers? . . perhaps hydrualics? Anyone have a DC-9/MD-80 POH
at hand?

Clearly someone's guardian angel need to go put her feet up at the end
of that day.

Blue skies . . .

OK Tom . . . so that suggests that the DC-9/MD-80 may also use bleed
air. Interesting.

Good thing that the tug had already unhooked after pushback. Without it
hooked up, at least there was some give in the standing plane.
