slide scan from the NK collection. - Saturn had three DC-8-61CF's and used them between 1967 and 1975. N8955U found its final operator in 1985: UPS bought it and converted it into a version -71F. It was flown as N748UP on regular freight services until 08/FEB/2006, when it arrived at Philadelphia PA with fire on board; the DC-8 burnt out after the emergency landing.
