Looks similar to the first engine I smoked back in the day when I had a sprint car. LOL

Should have bought a plane powered by Pratt and Whitney!

I don't fly GE's if I can help it. A simple comment because in real life I work for the parent company of Pratt and Whitney. We will soon rule the skies again when the geared turbofan comes out in a year or two...
