@fiesta1117cc There is no doubt its a UPS aircraft. UPS was one of the largest operator of DC-8 (aside from ABX), but they recently retired them in favour of more efficient twinjets.
The last remaining DC-8 conveted with more efficient turbofan engines. Boeing planned a similar conversion on 707, but they feared it will hinder the sales of a similar sized 757 (which is a vastly superior aircraft compared to 707)
