J.O. Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 It's gonna take more than duct tape and Elmer's glue to fix that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J.O. Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 The forward fan is missing completely. I wonder if they'll ever find it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fan is not missing, that’s a JT8D-217 or -219. The first stage is a stator. I’ve seen the bullet come off a -17A. Chewed it up but no serious damage. This one is weirder though, the glow seems to indicate a forward bearing failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read it elsewhere and assumed by the language used that the poster had direct knowledge. Then again, it is the internet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
