Mild Aerobatics

And each engine on the 727 was attached with the same sort of 3-bolt
mechanism, only the bolts were "necked down" in the middle to provide a
positive shear strength. Theory was if the engine started shaking violently
enough, they wanted the engine to depart the airframe before it tore the
tailfeathers off.

I find nothing wrong with the beef in the area of the lift strut on the 100
series Cessnas. What's your problem, Jay?

Each 10,000# engine on the B-707 was attached with three (3)
bolts the size of your small finger! Never lost one.
