McDonnell Douglas DC-8-70 (N817NA)

Great Shot. Thanks for posting. Sadly she just retired. Glad you were able to capture her.

Nice capturing a point in time never to been seen again! A low approach of a classic.

lovely picture.

I've always loved the DC-8. Great catch and so sad that it isn't flying any longer.

anyone know how my old friend Doug Baker is doing? I lost track of that rascal.
Diesel eight, my favorite of all time! flies finger-tip smooth & nothing better or stable going down to minimums on any close IFR approach. a friend of Mueller's

I've never seen an aircraft of this size at KAPA. Anyone know why it would be stoping there?

Looks a bit odd with the modern high bypass engines instead of the original skinny jets and the accompanying black smoke.
