They have just added a short movie of the fully functional (except for the twin .50's) ball turret. :)

I wasnt looking at how close the propeller was. I was looking at the fresh aluminum on the back of the nacelle.
Corrosion, Damage, Fire?

Wasnt that the engine with the problems up here?
Cylinder at Beverly, then an engine change at Pittsfield.
