Hey Colt .45, I don't care if you are an aviation boatswans mate or whatever, You got your head up your Clymer. Read my post again if you want a clue. I've changed out more GE jet engines than all of FR put together. My posts are relevant to the engine and it's support system, not the chassis in general. Show me the money Clymer. SHOW ME THE FACTS. That's your toothless mantra, isn't it? Well? I challenge you to show me ONE GE CF56 or GE90 that has failed in flight because of FOD by fowl. JUST ONE!!! Come on pilots!! I worked the GE90 program for 2.5 yrs. I've had access to every incident report regarding CF56 in-flight failures. Again, slam and run demogogues can't or won't SHOW ME THE MONEY!

A whole 2.5 years! Gosh, you must be a real stud!
I'll gather my facts from the folks that know just a little bit more about it than you. Gather some more experience in the field then I might be willing to listen to you. You sound like an AME in my first outfit I was ever with. He knew it all until he rode an ejection seat up to the roof one day. If anyone has their head up and locked in their Clymer ... its you!

I was on a 747 climbing out of JFK that sucked a seagull into one of its engines. It made a horrible sound and scared the passengers, including me. I don't remember if it flamed. Fortunately, all went as planned. The pilots shut down the engine, and flew to Chicago instead of S.F. where they dumped fuel for awhile over Lake Michigan and landed at O'Hare.
