Those with long memories will recall the early TriStars with -22B engines did the same...initially.
Rather long run-ups at partial power prior to brakes release.
Early problems (big time) with the -22B's.
I recall seeing seven of these RR engines on the ramp on engine stands at MIA in 1974.
All, and I mean all the turbine blades were...ah, gone.
Must have been expensive
