Yep; I knew that 90-0175 had been  re-engined.
You still think that the JSTARS birds are  going to get CFM-56 fans?

You never know in this budget climate!  It was just a note I saw on
another reflector.  I'll try to track it down.

I had dinner last night with John Glenn!  Well, John and 303 of our
closest friends!  We had a fund raiser for our lcoal air museum
(Patuxent River Naval Air Museum) and John spoke after dinner.  He is a
real hero and an intersting speaker.  He spoke of all the normal stuff
about his NASA experiences, but also talked about some of his
"interesting times" as a test pilot here at Pax.  He was a real "slide
rule" test pilot, back in the day before computers did everything!
