It's my understanding that tail-mount aircraft with reversers can do this. I know that the 717 and DC9 do it, and I would presume that the MD-xx can as well. AirTran does it regularly in ATL, and I was on a couple of NW DC9's this weekend in MEM and DTW that did it.

Wing-mount aircraft can not do it due to the possibility of sucking in tarmac debris kicked up by the reverse thrust.
