    DC-8's for $275k anyone?

    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

    -55 for me with 4 CFMs!!
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    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

    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.
    Spotters have been Homeland Security before HS was a glimmer in the president's eye.

    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.
