Yes. It's actually a quote from a 2003 CFM press release: https://www.cfmaeroengines.com/press...-time-on-wing/

News takes a long time to reach the West Coast.

The pilots were aware the it was the highest time airframe and delighted us with the notion that it broke a new record every time it flew (and so we broke a record!).

Magic!
