Brian Abraham states, "6,000 hours in the A and ditto in the C. I see where you are coming from though oleary. The early days were indeed trouble some, when I said "good service" I guess I meant very few heart stopping moments - none for this little turkey, though there were some "interesting moments".

Thank you, Brian. I only had 5 engine malfunctions in the first 500 hours I flew 76's - fortunately nothing as dramatic as a third stage wheel burst - which is what we are talking about here.
I picked up Mel and his co-pilot- there was nothing left but the tail, main blade tips and a few gears.
