Which engines are # 3&4? Raider 50 said those were the two out.
Crash picture looks like two on right have some damage from landing or collision.

You know, you may be right. I can't find a definitive reference, but I believe the engines are numbered from 1 to 4 from port outboard to starboard outboard.

It could very well be that the collision was with the starboard engines or wing, and the damage to the port side (prop on #1, missing refueling pod,) occurred during the wheels up landing.

Good eye!

Left outboard engine is #1, right outboard is #4.
