A three engine ferry is a standard procedure, although I have never seen the engine removed before.. .Interesting "tech log" entry - No. 3 engine missing. Response: No. 3 engine found in hold....

Sorry, I contacted the captain and he told me that there was NO PAX ONBOARD. He said it was very easy to fly and said that this is normally done a lot of times with a 747. Thx for your replies guys!
