Courtney, every use of material influences its longer term readiness. What they found here might give them more data points for identifying borescope inspection intervals based on engine usage, time in afterburner/reheat, etcetera. Whether or not the enging is modular enough to replace blades or various sections simply, in the field or at intermediate level, remains to be seen.
