Have you ever turned a turbine engine?

Yep, the wind easily turns the bypass fans. When I had a friend flying
for UPS, we climbed up into the intake of a 767. You could easily
grab the blades and spin them around at a pretty good clip. We scared
the hell out of the load master who saw the thing start to turn with vigor
and thought the engines were being start on him.
