336 engines
Were we ever able to resolve the issue of which engines were in the 336? Was it the A or the C/D? As I recall, they all had the A engine but I'm not at all certain of that.

I saw a Skymaster departing MRY on Rwy 28L at about 12:30 this afternoon. It was white with blue trim and turned about due north toward SJC and SFO. Was that anyone here?
