Wheeew. We presented to the big boss man this afternoon, following a day of stress and jet engine tours in CT. All told it went well; conflicting advice from advisors in Michigan hung us out to dry on a few presentation protocol points, but it was a success overall. And however the presentation went, it was awesome to stand, at floor level, next to a static test version of the PW4000 that powers Boeing's 777. The complexity and size of this massive machine is really too much to convey - Doug is working to improve the production of this monster over the summer and I wish him luck. It looks like a bowl of spaghetti with labels on every noodle and nothing less.
