Air Canada flew this DC-8 as passenger only for the first eleven years (1970 - 81). It was then converted to a freighter and in 1984, further upgraded with CFM International CFM56 engines to a DC-8-73F. The aircraft was sold to DHL Airways (Astar Air Cargo after 2003) in 1994 to fly for DHL Express. Retired in 2012, it was stored at Kingman, AZ. Although sold to Skybus Air Cargo in 2017, the freighter remained stored at Kingman in DHL colors.
