Uninitated as I am (also read ignorant) in these matters...
If BF Goodrich want the engines back, what would Cougar have to do? By flying the aircraft back to the states, does it mean they'll be parked up for sale or scrapping? Who owns the airframe? Would it be financially viable to just take the engines off at SEN and send them back airfreight then scrap the aircraft for spares here? Who pays for the engine transportation/ferry flight?
Just a few questions...I'm sure I'll think of the answers as soon as I've posted!
