DC-8 Retirement Flight (UPS)

@ZMOA2006 787 dreamliner is the best ever, phone calls allowed onboard, hd entertainment onboard and broadband internet access with WI-FI, LED Lighting and new filter systems to get rid of jet lag, special systems that detect turbulence and iron the bumps out well in advance, state of the art composite fuselage, engines and wings, dimable windows, larger windows than any of todays airliners. it takes a lot to beat that dont you think?

may very well have seen one of these hauling out of DSM over the Christmas rush a few years ago. Would love to have heard with the original engines RR Conways or P&W Jt3C - earsplitters! The last new DC-8 left Longbeach CA in 1972 or so - these two have greatly surpassed the original lifespans. (CFM-56? I think are what these were carrying) End of an era that started these ships in 1960!!

@TheJesseMD there still a lot of 4 engined airliners around, 747-8, Avro-Rj, Bae 146, airbus a340's, a380's, and posibly more just cant think of their names. but the old was quite nice but was loud and dirty and not as comfy as todays planes, thomson are offering hd entertainment and broadband internet access on their boeing 787 dreamliner from january 2012

i remember reading in flying magazine , i want to say around 2006 , about a guy flying a DC-9 out to the boneyard , being a pilot myself , after reading the story , it brought tears to my eyes , saying good bye to an old aluminum friend was the heading of the story . Wish there was a video on here of that . Thanks for showing us yours .

@jrkeen01 They were once in passenger service with, among others, Delta and United. My first flight was on a Delta DC-8 refitted with CFM56s. I wish the videographer had zoomed in to get the registrations of these planes. These are sad flights, going to the boneyard to be parts planes or worse, to end up in some third world shithole.

Bunky, oh yeah - the original 'stovepipes' on these would pierce the best headsets! Faster than anything now, though, as they'd redline it all the way, coast-to-coast, as that's where they were most efficient. And re-engined in the 80s, they kept going for dang near 20 more years. Great, classic, airplane. Lotsa character, that one.

Worse aircraft I ever been on. I used to dread when I had to get on a dc 8. Noisy and they shook alot. I was going to p.r. on one flight and I swear everyone on the plane was either crying or praying, I was talking to this young gal and I knew I was scared and wondered if she was also. I'm not a big mcdonnel douglas fanatic

The last DC-8 flights I remember being on was Boston to San Francisco on United in 1990 and San Francisco to Kona on United in 1991. They were rugged old birds. I don’t recall seeing many 707’s past the late 1970’s. United kept their Diesel 8’s until late 1991 I believe.

@hargohargo2 The earlier DC-8s mounted turbojet engines or early turbofans (the model was JT3D if I remember correctly) which were much more slender, while the latest models like the one in the video were equiped with more efficient and thicker high-bypass turbofans.

These updated DC-8's were among the prettiest of the UPS fleet too me. And as others have noted, the engines sound amazing. I used to watch these things all the time in Ontario, California back in the mid to late 80's. Those are CFM56 series engines right?

Kenny commented on 27 Aug 2009

That was either a -71 or a -73. The 72s had shorter fuselages. Been to Roswell, what a sad place :( Kmentt you're kidding...right? I worked on UPS 8's for 13 years. We all miss them here at SAT. Now we're stuck on MD-11s or A300s...what turds.

Bezerra Luis commented on 23 Aug 2009

the original DC8 must have retired years ago. That was just a mockup using the original fuselage with 4 Airbus engines. A DC8 or a 707 is not a DC8 or a 707 if it not has its typical engines. I wouldnt even look at that fake DC8

The last time I flew on a DC-8 was about 1988, a Delta flight from Miami to Little Rock. I remember being surprised that the cockpit had been modernized and had some flat screen displays, it was not all mechanical gauges.

I worked for Sky Chefs in MKE in the late 80's. I saw a guy take a DC-8 and took it almost straight up. It looked like it was standing on it's tail. Wish I had a camera. I never knew the big jobs could do stuff like that!
