Centaurus,
found an old Fokker 28 article on line (
http://steemrok.com/nw%20san/nw%20f28)....
"
there is provision for a 'buddy' start where both engines can be started from a second F.28 by means of connecting pipes. One Airline in Australia requires each of it aircraft to carry such a pile in the event of a rescue operation"
Sounds like a jet version of your Indian rope trick
