. Journo typo or Journo imagination

It can only be about a 2-engine taxi. There is no record of a 2-engine ferry flight of any DC-8 anywhere, not even by Douglas test pilots. There is no procedure and no training for 2-engine ferry flights. It's not approved. It's illegal. It's dangerous....because there is insufficient thrust to climb an empty airframe on 1 engine after engine failure at rotation speed.
