Nothing unusual about a three engine ferry,BUT - if the timings were correct,
the people who turned around the aircraft & prepped it for a three engine ferry in sub 34 minutes are miracle workers!!!!

Moffett Field P-3's
This video reminds me of the Moffett P-3's that used to fly around the Santa Clara Valley alternately feathering and restarting their engines...all gone now....

Intriguing .. never did a 3-eng ferry but plenty of hours on the Electra .. in flight a shutdown engine windmills very slowly .. but there is no sign of such on this clip ? .. perhaps when the IAS increases a bit ?

We used to do quite a few 3 eng ferries back in the early 90's. The 188 was so overpowered it didn't pose much of a problem. You would line up on the r/w and advance the two symmetrical engines and as you began to roll you would advance the 3rd to have it at full power at about 100kts. All this time however you are hoping that a second eng doesn't fail because that really could have ruined your day.
As for as the prop not rotating the engineers would lock it so it didn't go round
Also, there were two Atlantic Electras on the DHL ramp in Brussels on Friday night. Its great to see them still flying around.

Peace, brothers .. Rotary has answered my question .. and for the lower speed range associated with takeoff the difference doesn't matter a great deal .. mind you, 300kts in the beastie over the airfield at low level was an attention getter ... only had the opportunity to do it once for a speed record and it was a great sensation ..
