The USAF may be inconvenienced:

> Air Combat Command received the latest E-11A aircraft equipped with the Battlefield Airborne Communications Node, or BACN, Sept. 18. The system currently operates on two platforms: the E-11A, a modified Bombardier business jet and the EQ-4B, a modified Global Hawk Block 20 remotely piloted aircraft.

Some numbers from (current) top comment:

---

Taking the post literally means grounding at least 5,500 to 6,000 airframes immediately.

If the "decertification" extends to Canadian-made engines on American-made planes, that number explodes past 15,000.

Helicopters Bell 407, 412, 429, 505 3,000+ Law enforcement and MedEvac.

Regional Jets CRJ-700 / 900. 600+

High-End Jets Global / Challenger / Learjet. 1,500+

Turboprops Dash 8 / Twin Otter. 200+

Modern Narrowbody Airbus A220. 150+

Also someone noted that the US-made Gulfstreams use PW&C engines:

Trump says look at me --- I'm a bully and not a very smart one.

Trade deficit hits new record high --- despite tariffs. Factory construction and manufacturing jobs are *down*. Trump fans are still swimming in a river in Africa.
