Abstract
It gives me great pleasure to appear before you today. I am honored to be the keynote speaker and the topic of extended engine life is extremely important to many of our military and civilian aircraft today. I have been fortunate to have a career where I have found myself working both beginning of new high technology developments of aircraft and aircraft engines to the older or even ancient "Keep them Flying" type programs. The advanced technology development programs always seem to be endowed with plenty of money and the charisma of new technology while the aging programs continually struggle to obtain the necessary support to insert new life in to systems to provide safe and reliable operations.
