Quite the amazing tour of an amazing aircraft! Special thanks to Kasper Aviation, detroitspotter, and metroairportspotter for the invite to see this amazing machine. This aircraft is one of a very few DC-8s left flying in the world. I say flying, although this aircraft hasn't flown in over 9 years, as she has sat on the YIP ramp ever since her last flight.

The company that bought her is currently renovating the airplane and they hope to have her back in the skies in the coming months. Also one of the only ones to have the JT3Ds fitted to her instead of the updated CFM56s.

What an amazing opportunity! Hope you all enjoy this one!
