747 with 5 engines

When I was younger, I seem to recall seeing on a couple of occasions seeing a 747 take off over my house with a 5th engine attached.

I've not seen the same since. Was this common practice then or does it still occur on occasions?
Doesn't it mean there is a lot of drag with presumably a lot of rudder trim involved?
Please tell me I was not imaginiing it!
