In fact, #1 engine does not drive any compressors or generators or other
flight necessary equipment to allow it to be shut down without losing
systems. I do have a feeling that this photo was either staged or
Photoshop'd. I don't know a single Flight Engineer that would let a pilot
hang anything on their E-handles.

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.
