It's pretty rare, but there are tricycle gear airplanes with nosewheel
brakes. At American Airlines, we have a few 727's that have 'em. We call 'em
the St. Thomas airplanes as these are the only 72's we used to be able to
get into the short runway at STT. I think that we have maybe 5 or 6
airplanes so modified.

It would probably  be complicated and unnecessary on our Lancairs.
