Can that engine be reused? Is it forever toast?



I’ll be coming back to look for Akham and Hogmann’s comments on this. They’ll both have something to say…

Probably shredded. But when we had a bird strike on Lears, the FAA always took feathers to turn over to ornithologists to get information on breed of bird, etc.
