Photo Comment
One of over thirty DC-8-61s delivered to United; this one on May 20, 1968. Converted to a CFM powered -71 in July 1982, the Eight was sold to Guinness Peat Aviation May 1990 and leased back until April 1991. Undergoing a freighter conversion, it was subsequently leased to Translift Airways (EI-TLA), UPS (N783UP), Burlington Air Freight and taken over by Air Transport International (N830BX). It's been stored at Mojave, CA since 2012. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
