Glueball, I'm well aware of that fact that a two engine take-off is not approved, nor likely to occur. I believe I was the first to post that here, but thanks for the reminder. Ignition Overide, are you sure you are referring to the correct accident?
The DC-8 3 engine attempted take off I was referring to was In Kansas City also.
I recall the Buffalo Airways loss of a 707 at Kansas City occured on short final approach, a CFIT accident, not related to engines. It is a shame about the old Arrow, and the loss in Gander. This one is still quite controversial amongst DC-8 crews.
