Wow, when I first started with the Rose we hung the #1 engine and went from there. Has it been on since the early 90's like 1990? We took them to someone in OKC. Its been a few years since then.....

I believe these were probably the same engines. They both had 1000 hours, plus or minus a few, on them.
My first involvement with the Rose was in 1977, I vacuumed three and a half shop vacs full of Myrex out of the waist compartment. Afterwards I learned that it was discontinued because it was found to cause cancer, and I wasn't wearing a respirator!

When it was parked at KSAT, a friend of mine worked for Braniff and we would crawl all thru it, Myrex+cancer=

Thanks Lynn!
When I initially tried to upload the the pic, all that showed up was a link to my photobucket account. Zane fixed it afterwards.
Stan Musick was doing the driving; WOW! What an experience. My camera quit working about half way through the flight
, I got back to the hotel room that evening, removed and reinstalled the lens and it worked fine.
