And then there was our old friend Kalitta Cargo, with their excellent reliability record, who had lost a donk (though not physically this time round) on a severly clapped out 747-100 coming into Bahrain. Problem could not be fixed on the wing, and an engine change in the sandpit would have been rather costly. What to do then? Oh yes, 3-engine take-off and ferry back stateside for repairs. Nice job, Connie!
