This former Eastern Airlines DC-8-63PF (this version has a strengthened floor of a freighter aircraft , but no cargo door) entered CP Air's fleet in September 1972. Sold to Handlingair in December 1981, it was converted by Cammacorp to a DC-8-73PF. Operated by Handlingair for Triad International / Adnan Khashoggi until sold in 1988. Next came freight companies Connie Kalitta Services , American International Airways (N809CK )and Emery Worldwide Airlines (N105WP). The aircraft was retired and stored at Goodyear, AZ in 2001.
