We had a '85 and an '86 classic both of which I miss. I wonder if putting the emergency brake on the front came from the Saab aircraft engineers. Small planes with tricycle landing gear have only a brake on the front wheel. The much ado about a passenger plane landing with a messed up nose wheel a few weeks ago did not concern many pilots. About the worse that could happen would be a further messed up nose gear (or nose). On the other hand if one of the rear wheels was not functioning that would be a real problem.
