Kind of a cool vid. Interesting location of the tug bringing the aircraft into the hangar.

VERY cool video. I was amazed when it said the total time it took to do it.

Great video. Love the lighting shots! Got to admit, 6 hours is pretty fast for R&Ring an engine that size. Kind of reminded me of whatching an A-10 engine change. They way it's lowered to the stand with a pair of winches from the mount to a stand. But MUCH BIGGER!

The little votex in front of the engine shows why you do FOD checks.

You know, before I retired, my last two years were spent running a flight of cops on the Buckley AFB flightline. One day, in summer before we had the Alert Shelter built, we had a line of alert Vipers up on taxiway Lima, an alternate parking area that sets just south and slightly higher than the main parking area. I was watching a pair scramble out and when one of them hit the throttle, I watched the back blast catch a Prarrie Dog about 5 yards behind him, and throw that little furry rodent, a$$hole over appatite about three times as he tumbled down the hill and singed most of the hair off his sorry a$$.Image

So, technically speaking, I guess they Suck and Blow at the same time.
