Re:How Qantas Ferried an Engine on the Wing of a 747 on Saturday January 09, 2016 @11:17AM (#10871732)
My father works for QANTAS, has for 40 years. He said they used to do one, once a month on the older jumbos. But with the newer ones 400s, QANTAS just retired one to the desert with the 4 original engines still on it. Meaning it never needed an engine change in its entire operating life.
