Mmmm well irrespective of whether the incident happens during ground runs or in flight, it all ought to count.

It does raise the question whether the CF6-80 met reliability expectations when new, but that the incidence of failure is now begining to climb as fleetwide fatigue sets in ?

Makes one wonder whether there ought to be a maximum age limit for the engine hardware in ETOPS flights ?
