Surplus engines, Bar? I didn't know Gulfstream and Bombardier had extra BR700s in the back lots.

Yeah, the boys at LGB were pretty old school. Just like Bar lamented about how many $50,000 Cherokee 6 engines ended up in air boats, same thing happened to aircraft with BR700s. This is from the back lot in LGB:

The AFU test is a simple function of the POS through the SOB. If the SOB diagnostic confirms FUPM, and the SNAFU control indicates MILF, then it can be confirmed that the AFU is in the normal STFD mode.
Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the VP is such a VIP, shouldn't we keep the PC on the QT? 'Cause if it leaks to the VC he could end up MIA, and then we'd all be put on KP.

I look forward to coming back.

I was on MLOA for over 7 years, some contingency, some not. No real questions asked by management. If Delta was following the letter of the law, they could have been very sticky considering...

Now FTB, you know that's not FERD. FERD don't drop no bombs. He's just one of those air-to-air sissies. (trying to get FERD out of retirement).
