This engine ran for the entire flight as the front one was shut down and restarted as needed. (the rear actually pooped out from fuel exhaustion and had to be windmill started, no starter! within 1000 miles of the finish). Nine days of perfect operation! -- The best way to predict the future is to invent it. Alan Kay
