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

We sat in the cockpit as they started up and were allowed to sit anywhere we liked for the flight. It's one of my best memories ever. 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!
