This is to express our gratitude and deep appreciation for the incredible support you provided in sustaining the J69 engine program. Your contribution in this effort has enabled us to fully recover this engine.

You and your entire team of artisans were extremely vital in providing quality repairs on several key engine parts such as turbines shafts, compressor housings, turbine housings, turbine inlet nozzles and outer shells. Likewise, your extraordinary efforts to purchase surplus engines and rework these parts, enables us to get through some very lean months until new production deliveries occurred. Your ability to surge production on critical items such as compressor and inducer rotor assemblies was outstanding.

The contribution of Premier Turbines were crucial in the J69 achieving a 'Green" status for the first time since 1996. We currently have zero engine holes and have reached a net serviceable of +57 with an ENMCS rate of only 12%. This accomplishment was indeed a total team effort. Congratulations to you and your entire team and thanks again for a job well done.
