Flyover, are these the new nuclear powered 145XRs?

... rumor around the training center is contract mx in Mexico junked the Rolls engines on those planes and installed S5W reactors recently purchased from the US Navy.

.. come to think of it, it was in Semak's latest email!!

Sweet, I heard from the Rolls Royce Representative that we are going to use a small version of the new PWR2 Rolls Royce Reactor versus a GE or Westinghouse reactor. Al Gore has also given his blessing and will be making a speech at ALPA headquarters. He states that the reactor will not be as polluting as a conventional jet engine and that a steam powered aircraft will make a happier planet and fight global warming.

The bad side is every passenger will have to wear a TLD and instead of a pilot timing out a pilot will REM out.
