Come on 406, you dont start rumours about yourself! I did wonder how Shenzi got the info so quick though. Must still have eyes and ears out here.

Very interesting stats there on the old van. She is a good old bus, I dont know whats wrong of late. Could it be an airframe/engine combo problem. Correct me if I am wrong please. Most mounts for the PT6 have a totally different intake system to the van, and also two exhausts as it were. I am not saying for an instant that this has anything to do with engine failures, just an observation. It would be interesting to see the stats for PC12s over the same amount of hours.

Maybe she is just working to hard. Maybe the should chuck in a bigger engine and de-rate it. I dont know, I am fresh out of ideas here.
