LOL and amen! Thanks so much for sharing the memories with us Chris. And a big thank you to you and all who got 346 running in the first place. Engines that are operated are engines that are preserved. Non-operated engines tend to be rusted out hulks. It would be an educated guess on my part but I would wager that, all things considered, it took a lot more to restore the 315 and will take a lot more to restore the 20 than it did to restore the 346 just because she was maintained in an operating state.
Thanks again, Chris. Your post is a keeper for my RWR files.
