FYI 



 

The US Air Force has announced� that it will scrap all 110 remaining T-3A� 

Firefly training aircraft in the fleet.� The planes were grounded in 1997 after 



 

numerous incidents and three crashes.� While the Air Force attributed two of� 

the fatal mishaps to pilot error, all three accidents involved problems with the 



 

engine, a six cylinder Textron Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A5 generating 260 hp� 

driving a three-bladed prop. 	


Any idea about what sort of engine problem?

I think from what I've read over the years that  there were problems with the installation rather than the engine.  Been a  while, but when the AF first admitted the problem, it sounded like the problems  were peculiar to that airframe.
