leased from ONA - Overseas National Airways (photographer unknown)

Non-standard basic white livery as a result from former operations with Austrian Airlines

Leased in incomplete livery without cheatline

Overseas National Airways took delivery of this DC-8-63 freighter on May 29, 1969. Except for short periods of lease (Austrian Airlines OE - IBO 1974 74 and Loftleidir Icelandic TF-FLC 1977 - 79), it has remained registered. N865F. It was leased or chartered by a list of airlines longer than my arm before retired in 2012. Last operated by Murray Air / National Airlines, the aircraft was donated to the Yankee Air Museum and preserved / stored at Detroit Willow Run since the end of 2012.

Aircraft to land runway 31.

slide scan from the NK collection. - One of the few DC-8's which is preserved in a museum! Recently seen at Detroit-Willow Run MI (in March 2021), this aircraft was never converted into a -73 version, and it served as a freighter with Murray Air / National Airlines as N865F until 2012. Much earlier, Austrian Airlines used the DC-8 for about one year only - obviously no economical success in the Austrian fleet.

Leased from Seaboard World Airlines.

Taxiing to line up runway 24 on a very wet day. Note the spray being thrown up by the engines.

Accelerating down runway 24 on a fairly typical Irish spring day!

This well-travelled old freighter has been stored at YIP since 2012 after having been donated by National Air Cargo to the Yankee Air Museum.

Operating a charter into CMH, holding for 28R.
