I was thinking more of those WWII pictures of twin engine planes on freighters going to Europe. Would have thought the 310 would be the same. So you’re saying that the wing is integral with the engine? No disconnect points/attachment to the engine nacelle?

Yeah, pretty much. Wing is one piece from wing root at fuselage to wing tip. Engines come off, everything else is riveted together. The tip tank, main tank (50 gallons), come off, then just the gear and access panels.
