One of the airlines is currently offering a "Fly Anywhere" price of $99.00, I
think. Why not just put the engine in a wheelchair, wrap it in a blanket,
and put a hat on top. Then buy a ticket, and at the gate, roll the
wheelchair up to the flight attendent. For good effect, lift the hat a
little and give the engine a kiss goodbye.
Make sure to tell the attendent that Granny sleeps very soundly, and she may
be like a dead weight to lift into a seat. Maybe they'll leave her...er,
it...in the wheelchair.
Then just have the recipient meet the plane at the airport.
Well, it's worth a try!
