Thank you for the information, Dave!
Was it necessary to crash the plane? Can it be engines removed after 50 or 60 hours flight time and sent for major overhaul / reconditioning?
Before this thread I never realized how many and how often engines were reconditioned and re-used on factory "fresh" aeroplanes.
