albymoore Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Sharp looking airliner. I need to build an airliner myself one of the days. Thanks for sharing your build. 👍 Cheers, Albert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skodadriver Posted December 1, 2022 Share Posted December 1, 2022 One of the all time classic DC-8 liveries. Thanks for sharing. 9 hours ago, Bandsaw Steve said: Wow.

Great model. 👍 I never flew on one but I have read that if you were seated near the rear of a long DC-8 and the air got rough you could see the fuselage flexing!

Alex1978 Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 Very nice DC-8. A real classic in a classic livery 👍 I had the pleasure to fly on a DC-8-63 some 30 years ago and I remember that flight as absolutely wonderful.A bit noisier than todays airliners but very comfortable 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheyJammedKenny! Posted December 2, 2022 Share Posted December 2, 2022 I flew on a -63 as well, and it was a nice ride. I remember seeing these -71's and -73's lined up at ATL in the 90's and was surprised that United and Delta were so desperate to "push tin" around that they invested in the reengining program. Such was the passenger load then that the OEMs couldn't keep up with airlines' delivery needs, so airlines kept the DC-8s flying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malair Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 Very nice! I love these stretched DC-8's. KLM operated the -63 variant that I'm looking forward to building someday. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
