Default Air Force investigating intermittent engine failure on aircraft.

Two points - First, the fact that she's in the left seat doesn't imply she's
the PPC. Seat rotation is quite routine in the VP community. Second, as a
former VP Commanding Officer, we always tried to have at least one crew for

outfits, we frequently had two or sometimes three first-tour guys with
crews.
