Nutloose,

It was a three engine ferry from a Mexican outfit that went broke and left Bae with a 146 with one very sick inboard engine.

The engine was actually removed and the bits put in the belly holds. The pylon was bare!!

It went to Hagerstown, MD. and there were quite a few pictures of it. I saw one of it rotating out of Mexico, and another taken of it over the approach lights at Hagerstown.

There was some muttering given to it by the authorities but it was actually probably safer than with the bad engine hanging out there giving drag.
