Yikes, I got a little long winded there didn't I? Just goes to show that I shouldn't post on the forum after having more than 3 beers.
The candy wrapper could not be re-used!!!!
The father of the child that dropped that candy wrapper (a fellow jet pilot) was made to feel rather guilty about it!!! "LOL" (I will not mention any names)
The wrapper was made of mylar and it shredded into a zillion pieces when it hit the compressor, but many of those pieces were still too large to make it past the diffuser. The leading edge of several of the compressor blades and the diffuser vanes were slightly deformed, the pieces of mylar were clogging more than 80% of the passages in the diffuser.
The wrapper went into the engine just as I had reduced the throttle to idle, so the turbine was spooling down from 106,000 rpms at the time it clogged. It shut down and there were some flames out the tailpipe, but no permanent damage was done to either the airframe or the engine. It ran fine after being cleaned out.
