FYI


The US Air Force has announced  that it will scrap all 110 remaining T-3A 
Firefly training aircraft in the fleet.  The planes were grounded in 1997 after


numerous incidents and three crashes.  While the Air Force attributed two of 
the fatal mishaps to pilot error, all three accidents involved problems with the


engine, a six cylinder Textron Lycoming AEIO-540-D4A5 generating 260 hp 
driving a three-bladed prop.

Any idea about what sort of engine problem?

I think from what I've read over the years that there were problems with the installation rather than the engine. Been a while, but when the AF first admitted the problem, it sounded like the problems were peculiar to that airframe.
