Well if you notice in the picture there is some smoke lingering above the runway. This could be indicating a bounce on landing. So maybe the pilots activated the reversers when the wheels first made contact with runway. Thus they were still open when the aircraft bounced back into the air.

You'd think having the TR's out would have kept that jet on the ground though...

Who remembers putting the inboards in reverse to get the 8 down?

I do. Jumpseating on Arrow, could see TJSJ from 370 and landed straight in. Wow. Actually it was yet MJSJ then! Airplane smelled like pig poop from hauling pigs the day before. But at least no moving map!

Don’t know if it’s just the camera angle but the nose appears well left of centerline, right wing slightly low.

Is that a 727? Or a Soviet airplane?

Tupolev TU-154

Riggght Low bounce? Little apparent rudder defection. Short struts, long wingspan. Probably easy to bang a tip. Planted hard in a crab, buckets out, best guess I have. Soviet bloc did manage to come up with some cool iron. Ivan land, now!!

The TU-154 (and other Soviet jets) can fly approaches with some thrust revers deployed.
