IOE on the 727, pulled the throttles to idle at 30 feet!! Heard the engineer audibly gasp, captain say "not yet!", then put a crater into the runway at DEN. I think the rollout was less than 500 feet. Never happened again, but in the 72 everything was a crapshoot... Passengers never said a word, at that place you got what you paid for I guess.
