Could be possible rotor seizure from the main fan section, or the engine bearings for the fan section failed. could have failed due to low/no engine oil, dislodged compressor blades, faulty hot section, improper fuel burn in hte hot section. From the looks of it the only thing left is the aft most set of turbine blades....

There you go again take another look at the REAL posts that had nothing to do with it. What I really posted was that an FO shouldn't be spending $300 on a flight bag when he can get a good one for $60. Put the $240 he saved into a regular savings acount. Then every 3 years buy a brand new one with the interest he'd make.

I like your philosophy, but by my math it would take 6-7 years to buy a new one with the interest, assuming preservation of the principle. My $60 Office Depot cordura is on the brink of airworthiness after 4 years, but the concept works. Thread hijack complete, allow me to say something at least slightly releavant - The CF34 is one of the few civilian powerplants that has seen combat on frontline aircraft, the A-10 and S-3.

Didn't the warbird engines have 10 compressor stages, as opposed to the -3B1's 9? I remember reading somewhere that it did have a redesigned compressor section.
.. oh well, 9 or 10- that Mesa engine saw it's last line flight!

Unfortunately, the AF ran out of money for the upgrades and decided to do all the cockpit/tactical upgrades, but kept the original engines. The upgraded A-10 should be sweet...and I guess they can always do the engines later if they can find the cash.
