V for Vendetta!! apt?

Hi V
Well from your comments you have clearly not actually worked on any wide body engines.....Try changing a stator anti ice valve on the old JT9D.(before they were all removed as too bloody difficult to change)..or may be the fuel control on the same engine...bloody nigh on impossible, or the bleed system...plumbers nightmare...Or may be a routine boroscope inspection....where as an RB-211 the Fuel Pump and Control is relatively easy to replace! Boroscope plugs actually come undone and engine cowlings that you can't use a razors!! Oh and the CF6 not a bad engine...as long as no one farts in front of it as maintenance with a dust pan and brush to sweep up the bits is then required. As for changing the Thrust Reverser Motor!...not recommended.
