Thanks Mike I should have known that.
Was there not once an aircraft (DC 10 perhaps), that could engage reverse thrust on the center engine before touchdown?

Talking about stopping distances (Teflon vs Velcro!), is it possible or advisable to use reverse thrust in situations like this? It didn't look as if it was used in this instance.
No, reverse thrust is only available when the gear is down and there is "weight on the wheels". This is a safety measure called a "squat switch" that prevents the reversers from activating while the plane is in the air. Good thought though,
While it was interesting to see,the person could have used this time to be more alert for his safety and the safety of others

If I'm ever in a non standard landing I hope my fellow pax will be as quick to react, and I hope the lady from USAir 1549 seat 9D isn't in front of me.
