Melted Engines

Whats wrong with that?

Did you dream of being a 20 year turboprop captain when you were a little kid? Apparently WSurf loves saying "Condition levers MAX!". Definitely cooler than saying "Welcome aboard Republic flight 123".

I don't think anyone dreams of being a 20 year TP capt. Nobody dreams of being a 20 year RJ capt either...so I still don't get your point.

Same here. What was left of the good engine? Or WAS that the engine that re-lit?

I only saw the pics of the one that looked welded in place.

The melted engine is the one that relit at altitude when they followed the memory item and selected continuous ignition to ON. They are very lucky that both didn't re-light. They got the other engine started later and it functioned properly and got them safely to the ground. I too would like to know the condition of that engine and know how close they came to melting both of them.
