TU-114, essentially the civilian version of the Russian TU-95 bomber (the fasted propeller driven plane, 575 mph), contemporary to the B52, both are still in service. 4 x 12,000 shaft HP engines.
Machinist turning propeller shaft bearings.

"Yeah, that thing flew up from Maryland to do this job". Hell, I couldn't put gas in it let alone pay the bill !
