    I agree with Rockford. I hauled Jet Engines for Boeing out of Everett, WA to Renton Field. True: I can't see what's secured under the Tarp. But the straps over the Cowlings are a NEGATIVE. All engines have different strapping/chaining points on them, along with shock absorbers or braces to keep them stable when strapping over exposed wiring, tubing, or dentable components. Boeing used to give me instructions for proper strapping and chaining, and then had a tech examine the load prior to shipping. Anything that didn't pass, would have to be corrected before departure.
