Wow, does that grind off the bottom of the engines, like it looks in the photo?

The engines would contact the ground, but it looks like the sprayed foam around the plane so I think it may look like more has ground off than really has. (IE the foam is covering part of the bottom of the engine.)

Some speed tape, bailing wire and a few MEL's and she's good to go!

I didn't know regional pilots were qualified to handle emergencies?

Nice job guys!
