R2800 ENGINES
6 Jan 2000
The two Pratt & Whitney R-2800 engines arrived at the shop on 01-06-2000. The plan is to use parts from both to restore
one engine to display quality. Many years of neglect in the field have made this a very difficult job but Harmon Fischer and his
crew are up to the task. This engine when completed, along with the jet turbine from the OH-58 helicopter, will be displayed
in the new K-building which will be the new home for the 122nd Restoration Unit. Visitors will be able to tour the building
and watch the crews at work.
