This DC-8 was originally delivered to United as N8033U in October 1960. As N8033U it went on to fly with Bahamas World and Transports Aériens Centrafricain (STAC), before the latter re-registered the plane as TL-AHI in May 1979. It became 5A-DGK in November 1979 with United African and then with Jamahiriya Air Transport in June 1983. The plane was scrapped at Luxembourg (ELLX / LUX) in 1985 with the forward section becoming part of the Air Classic Collection on the spectator's terrace at Frankfurt airport. It has now found a nice home at EDES. This photo is copyright © Alastair T. Gardiner, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
