if you look for it in the database, just type the number '2969' in the section dedicated to search by number (3rd from the top, section C)

It just says the JT8D-9A engines do not have exterior moving parts when using the reverser. You won't see anything on the real aircraft either.

Most versions of the 727 have internal cascade type reversers. The bucket doors close internally and redirect the jetblast through the cascade vents foward to slow the plane.

They're not actually strong enough to back it up, though, is that right?  You can't in the CS model, but is this possible in real life?

Our company policy was no reverse thrust out of parking. If you are backing out and hit the brakes too hard the 727's nose will come off the ground if the CG was far back enough. I have never backed one out but I'm sure it can be done or else they wouldn't have prohibited it.
