These are my favourite old birds, Air Canada DC9's and 727's are what I grew up with, I'll always love the old school 60's jets the most.

alot of times the pilots use acceleration to move and let the weight of the plane slow it down and then accelerate again to keep this practice keeps the brakes cool. If the load is light and the engines are idling high enough it is possible to coast from the gate with out advancing the thrust levers.

i have been one from indianaapolis to MSP
This means they use the thrust reversers to taxi out of the gate right?
