Oooo, Equillibrium, hardly fair. I suspect most of the C130K naysayers on the J fleet have no serious experience of the 'mighty beast' that was the K! From my own, poor lack of knowledge ( I only spent 6 years as a GE and about 3 on the line) oh (and 3 on base 3 at Colerne), there was no way that anything on Albert relied on No 1 engine to bleed air for anything. Unless, for some unknown reason, a 'kinky' Captain, decided to start 1, shut down the GTC and then proceed to start the other 3 from No1. Perhaps there could be a scenario but I can't think of one offhand.
