Once the avionics are stripped out, the rest is just a pile of tin, ain't it?

The engines are "...suspected of FOD and debris ingestion and were operating at the time..."

I'm betting the Williams program doesn't apply, assuming they were on it. Economically, wouldn't that just turn them into doorstops?

That was my initial thought, but isn't parts trace-ability a pretty big deal for turbines?

I don't imagine that Dave's Garage can give you a yellow tag. :shrug:

The airpalne belonged to the Land O' Frost people, you know the lunch meats... they didn't replace it from what I can tell, it doesn't look like they own an aircraft now.

Sad, it was a really nice airplane... they bought it from Elliott in 2015
