Apparently the engines are destined for the US military.
BF Goodrich had a clause in the engine lease agreement allowing them to give Cougar 5 days notice to return the engines.
If the military were desperate for the engines, BF G could name their price. As long as the figure was more than what Cougar were paying, they're bound to take 'em back and watch even more money roll in than before.
I've no idea which aircraft they would need them for, maybe KC135's if they've been blatting around the Gulf at full chat?!
