P3 Orion ops

I noted that during the search efforts for MH370 the P3's shut down their inner engines presumably for loitering.

This got me thinking, what other aircraft types would be operated in this way and how normal is it to shut down multiple engines? I note that when they taxi they shut down their outer engines.

I'm not suggesting they shouldn't, I was just wondering how many aircraft would get away with this, B52 perhaps?
