Anxyous: I'm pretty darn sure you'd need to use more than just one starter switch to start the engine of an A300.. old birds are often like that, y'know ;D.

Nice caption. Now let's see you in front of a GE90 ::)

When we got it running I was >10 feet away to feel the suction.  Wish I had my camera then... Couldn't take it with-in 30 feet of the engine for safety and FOD rules.  It was a blast! :D
