Thanks for posting this. This is good to know.

and take lessons they have to buy 2 new sets of blades for nearly
$60,000 because the blades they currently have are over 10 years old.

2 sets = $60K
1 set = $30K
I didn't realize they were that expensive. Aren't they normally
changed as part of the 2200 hour megservice? The whole service is
only about $90K I thought.

One set still has 600 hours left. Talk about a shafting! This AD might
put a lot of training outfits out of business.

Where exactly is that hangar - what airport, city?

but rumored to have over 5000 hours on them and I haven't heard yet

I also heard rumors about using it to trim hedges and low RPM.
