Why are multiple engines different?

No, it was in the baggage compartment.

Jim...............I remember that Twin Commander. Great publicity stunt. And
I KNOW, the prop was in the back.

I am writing about a different airplane whose prop WAS still attached.

Correct. I saw video of it many years ago (okay, it wasn't video, more
likely film in those days).

It wasn't a stunt, either, it was a demonstration like like Tex Whatshisname
that rolled the 707 for the crowd.
