Ron;
I dunno-- I'd prefer to keep my driver extinguisher system in reserve until
it's really needed. If I trigger both at the same time and the engine fire
isn't put out and eventually spreads to the cockpit, there I'd be "out of
ammo". That's not a reference to Jon :)

I think there is some confusion between fire systems. Tom uses a driver
safe system for every thing ( Halon), which can be triggered at the same
time. If CO2 or dry chemical is used for the engine they have to be
separate from the drivers system. I think Tom has the right idea with if the
engine needs it the driver needs it, one button.
