Business
Turbine Services and Repair Group, page 2

1. We note your response to comment #1 in our January 4, 2005
letter.
Although your current disclosures address the state of the repair
approval environment in which you operate, you do not disclose
whether there has been a decrease in the number of approvals you
have
procured.  In future filings, please discuss any trends regarding
your ability to procure both OEM and FAA approvals.  Also,
specifically state whether there has been a decrease in the number
of
approvals you have procured, and the resulting short-term and
long-
term impact on your business.

      Please file your response to our comment via EDGAR within
ten
business days from the date of this letter.  Please understand
that
we may have additional comments after reviewing your response.

      We urge all persons who are responsible for the accuracy and
adequacy of the disclosure in the filing reviewed by the staff to
be
certain that they have provided all information investors require
for
an informed decision.  Since the company and its management are in
possession of all facts relating to a company`s disclosure, they
are
responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of the
disclosures they have made.

	In connection with responding to our comment, please provide,
in
writing, a statement from the company acknowledging that:

* the company is responsible for the adequacy and accuracy of the
disclosure in the filing;

* staff comments or changes to disclosure in response to staff
comments do not foreclose the Commission from taking any action
with
respect to the filing; and

* the company may not assert staff comments as a defense in any
proceeding initiated by the Commission or any person under the
federal securities laws of the United States.


      In addition, please be advised that the Division of
Enforcement
has access to all information you provide to the staff of the
Division of Corporation Finance in our review of your filing or in
response to our comments on your filing.

      You may contact Nancy Bonham at (202) 942-1854, or James E.
Campbell, Review Accountant, at (202) 942-1914 if you have
questions
regarding the above comments.  Please call me at (202) 942-1907
with
any other questions.

      Sincerely,



      Michael Fay
      Branch Chief
