The Cone's Tale


Delivering scrap metal to its final resting place I spot the above, the tail-cone from a CFM-56 turbofan. How could I mistake it, this thing I'd walked around a thousand times upon the pan?

"Alas, poor tail-cone." I said to a colleague, "I flew him, Horatio."

Ed. On no other VTOL blog do you get Shakespeare, methinks.
