Hey check out this pic and read the comments at the bottom of that page... Is that even permitted? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> In the US?!? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> <a href="http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=224038" target="_blank">http://www.airliners.net/open.file?id=224038</a>

A three engine ferry is a standard procedure, although I have never seen the engine removed before.. .Interesting "tech log" entry - No. 3 engine missing. Response: No. 3 engine found in hold....

Ya I've seen that picture before but man! never seen a 747 t/o knowing they dont have one of the engines on their wings! Just think how the PAX would be feeling...

Sorry, I contacted the captain and he told me that there was NO PAX ONBOARD. He said it was very easy to fly and said that this is normally done a lot of times with a 747. Thx for your replies guys!
