I just learned it is a Navy P-3. Who routinely shutdown one
engine to save on fuel costs (the cheapos).

NOPE!! We shut down one or two engines to extend the patrol
time. Something that is peculiar only to constant speed
turboprop engines.

I just *knew* some Navy guy would take the bait... :-)

Either way: you got extra flight-time at a bargain price.
