747 five banger

Ok. I fly single engined GA aircraft. But I thought I knew a great deal about commercial aircraft.

I sit down tonight for my 9PM (hk) Tuesday "air accident investigation" on Nat Geo with a cold one and was immediately confronted with some new intel.

Apparently the 747 can "carry" AN EXTRA ENGINE !!!

The stricken Air India flight featured in this episode(RIP all) was apparently carrying a broken engine back to India mounted to the wing.

I have never witnessed this before or seen photos of this taking place.

Anyone???


Best,
