The post above mine was about the Do JET at ACA !!! 2 different engines and 2 different companies. And of course the box said PWC on the side at COS... who makes the engine... ???? Surely you don't think a Pratt engine will show up in a Fairchild Box?DrRaptor said:"J32 Driver" - Funny, because the post before yours said that PWC picked up the contract, and I can very quickly ask a couple of people how fast that "Power-By-The-Hour" contract was transferred to PWC. I know that it was pretty quick because it happened while I was at DEN, and I watched and engine change at COS in early 2003 while visiting a mechanic I'd met while at AWAC. The boxes the turbine parts came in clearly said PWC on them, not Fairchild, and had been shipped direct from Pratt's factory in Longueuil.
Fact of the matter, Fairchild paid for the engines until they went into insolvency. Sorry you have trouble understanding how things work.
Oh yeah... it might help to know that this info came directly from the Director of ops. Used to talk to him in ATW on a monthly basis back then. If he had it wrong... well, then I guess I got it wrong too.
