> 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.
