Wonderful job, Chris! That is an amazing double engine there!  Quite fascinating to watch.  Just incredible.  :cheers:

Just curious, would they have ever run both engines at the same time? The anchor one and the other one too?  Or was it strictly a one or the other kind of thing?

Amazing job on yet another novel and unique engine, Chris!  :cheers:
