Eastern Airlines started this maneuver in the early 80s at Atlanta airport to save on the number of tugs. Later followed by American Airlines and Northwest. Eastern powerbacked 727s, DC-9s; American 727s, MD-80s. Northwest DC-9s, I'm not sure about 727s for them.
A great vid, no hush kits but still stage 3. They've PWJT8D-217 engines mounted on the pods making this a super-27, probably an old -19 mounted in the centre position. Great A/C and I'd never seen one do this maneuver.

Gotta love those JT8D's. Best sounding jet engines out there, especially from outside the plane.
