Hubby just asked me to add that you don’t have the same engine control with a jet that you have with the Orion anyway. He said that he has intentionally flown with one engine at times in order to stay on station longer.

(Of course...that was some years ago.)

Well, sure... standard ops is to shut down one and four once you get light enough for longer loiter times.
Never ran single-engine in West Pac - I think they didn't approve of that there.

Course, when you only have two engines...
