Still like to see the pic's

C19 here is my story.

I met the aircraft on taxi-in at FRA and the engine was already secured with the strap kit.

According to the Flight Engineer, seems too much fuel was loaded for a heavy departure somewhere hot down range.

The AC was taxied to a make-shift engine run area to"burn off" the excess fuel.

In the process a sign or fence was ingested creating the FOD damage. S#it Happens

It was then set up to 3 engine ferry flight to FRA then on to JFK.

They secured the fan using a strap kit and pads thenoff it flew to FRA.

The outbound flight engineer asked me to perform the required "three serviceable engines for a ferry flight preparation inspection"or he would not fly.

After pulling 3 chip detectors out and they all lookedlike a Chia Pet. I said no thank you.

LH Technical folks stepped in ... then came the LBA.

One month and several engine changes later itdeparted.
