Saw it, soon after I posted my correction to your original post.

Hello,
Then I guess it's a tie between the Saunders-Roe Princess and the
Soviet "korabl-maket", each of which used 10 jet engines. Although the
KM was a ground-effects aircraft, so it didn't fly more than a few
metres above the ground, it did fly. Here's the URL for theWikipedia
entry, and a picture of each.

Sorry, forgot the URL.

Does the Blue Angels C-130T count? 4 Allison turboprops plus 8 JATO (Jet
Assisted Take Off) packs.

Or even the YMC-130H?

No, because the term JATO is a misnomer. They are not jet engines, they are
rockets.

As one definition of "jet" is "a stream of a liquid, gas, or small solid
particles forcefully shooting forth from a nozzle, orifice, etc.", it's not
a misnomer at all.

Well, IF you want to count JATO, or RATO or ATO as "jets"
then the B-47 with 6 Jet turbine engines and the
the "horse collar" 32 bottle ATO pack wins hands down..
