Absolutely.. IIR we got our engines out of Canada, our maint. guys could change a prop in 3hrs and a engine overnight...
I logged so much time on one engine I started a separate category in my logbook BTW.. she'd fly with a sh!t load of ice too!!!. We flew into Canada a bunch for the auto trade.. In the winter time we'd add a baseball bat to the flight kit ,to bash the ice off
