    Second one looks better.
    Problem was the 3% over performance came on (not the normal time for it come on)
    Deactivated it so off we will go:D

    Had a few of those aborts they can get spooky ,one I rem. the most was we had do a test flight after some maint. on the fuel tanks,taxied to take off pos. went to full power and everything checked out,gave the pilot a thumbs up we stated to move and didn't get 100 ft and started loosing power on all 4 engines I called out a power loss so I pulled back on power and we started to taxi back to hanger just turned off the duty and lost eng 1 made it about 20 ft and lostr the other3. Tug had to come and tow us back,even lost apu.Found out the maint dewds were repairing a fuel tank and left a mattres in the tank and it came apart in the tank clogged all 4 fuel strainers.

    Man that is UGLY right there. Test flights always have a major pucker factor (depending on what was worked on) and fuel is one of em. This one was almost an oh St. Nose was just coming up
