Question .... were those front vanes on the JT-3D's fixed ?.... as nothing appears to move .

Nice Marty

, Centrifugal louvers on the engine casings, no slide movement as with the new turbofans.

I need to get this plane so we can multiplay Marty. You in the DC 8 and me in the 747-200 (Similar paint)

Would make for some awesome screenies...

Thanks Ian , ive been a bit reluctant to screen those engines from the front , thinking it was a model fault . And i couldn't find out much about them ....same type on the early 707 models as well ?

Cool shots Marty ... Was lucky enough to be in a DC-8 cockpit enroute to Nadi in 1978

I believe the front vanes on the JT3Ds were fixed like that

Yep, the most, least best example on other engines of the period is the Roll Royce Conway used on the Vickers VC-10, they are very prominent .
