On the 1049H Connie we never let the BMEP drop below 100 to prevent the 
prop from driving the engine. We never used hi-blower, climb at minimum 
of 140 KNIAS for cooling and we got an average of over 2000 hours on the 
wing with the 3350's. With double shorted secondary it was an immediate 
feather of the engine, which meant a jug change and PRT at the next stop 
in support of MAC in SEA FTAS Based at Clark AFB for 2 years.
