June 13, 200322 yr Palm 90, I remember that accident. I feel the same way about powerbacks in a 737....why the heck would you do it? FOD on the ground and even ramp crews would be in a lot more danger than usual. I agree with the AirTran post as well. I rode with them on one of their 717's and DC-9's; they did a powerback with a turn after reverse thrust was disengaged. Any how, that Palm 90 accident brings me back to the Aviation Safety (class) days at UND, ahh the memories...EricArea51Intel
