Mark,
Is this the same engine used on the Osprey? The tilt-o-rotor? Saw them out
west Texas and that was a question for the hangar pool.

The Orion has the upside down engine.. The Amp on the T-56 is mounted on
the top of the engine and has the words "NO STEP" stamped on it. If you
look up in the main wheel well of the Orion (inboard Engines). You can see
this Amp facing down with the words "NO STEP" stamped on it. Kind of odd
eh!!! Navy maintainers must walk in some odd places..
