Thompson Aero test facility to receive first engine

[V1CUT]

The first engine is arriving in Thompson, MB sometime in the next week. its going to to be the Rolls Royce Trent XWB for the A350 and the trent 1000 to follow so the sources say (might be the other way around). theres going to be a couple of sleepless nights when that thing hits full power at 2AM and a chicken is being launched at it.

Did they decide how many native have to be hired to run the engine yet? Because they have to, the noise will scared bears, caribooze and moose up to lynn lake and federal government will have to:
1-Pay lawyers
2-Pay people on the commission or court
3-Pay compensation to these native suffering in silence in shammatawa because the big bang caused by white men push the habitants of the great turtoise away

Anyway, nice to see this facility in Canada!
