How badass would it be to have your very own DC-8:

Until the first C check, of course.




I'd get me a -63:biggrin:

-55 for me with 4 CFMs!!

Id get a version where the C and D checks are far far off. This way I have more time to actually fly it then worry about time:biggrin:

The subject on the article is old news. I kind of remember hearing about a Caravelle or two, crashing in Colombia, on its way to Florida, because either the center-of-gravity was misjudged, or the fuel mis-calculated. This was back in the '80's.

That may be, but I bet a DC-8 is much more affordable now than it was in the 80's, when they were still in frontline service.
