Yes Felix was one helluva great stick. F/O in first video is Beverly Brooks, good people. Fine Air could have been a great company. The overwhelming temptation to cut too many corners and save money was their ruination. The DC-8 was the star of the company. Last of the non-disposable jets, (i.e. Airbus). I worked there from 95-97 (MIA crash), and during that time we had some great crews/people working there. We knew how to have fun. :-) Woody Woodhall was my favorite. Cool dude.

@fr8dog69 We must know each other then. Thats whan I was there. Check this video out. Notice anyone familiar in thecaptains seat? "Ex-AeroMexico Douglas DC-8-51 Departing BUR for MIA". Remember Hugo Veliz?

I think the ultimate treat would be a DVD that features Fedex, UPS,Centurion Cargo or Amerijet Caribbean operations with the 727 especially on their flights to St.Vincent which is a 4000ft or less runway....

[CAL2177]

These are great videos. I have two so far and look to buy more.

[solomonpilot767]

That's what i call real pilots plane and,thanks 4 posting 10 plus!

[myRSisfantastic]

Thank you very much "JustPlanes"for this vid. I flew the 55F and the 72CF with French Air Force and these moments where the best in my flying time.

United Airlines was still using the DC-8-72 in 1991!  UPS just retired their last DC-8 last year, I believe.

[mrgothere]

Dc-8 love that jet it's old but, still a great plane. I didn't know that their aren't automatic altitude call outs on this plane. One has to really keep their eye, glued to the altimeter in order, to make a good landing.

Girl pilots rock! Me being one myself...

[MegaELECTRICEYE]

@LisaAnne064  Congrats!!

[faostube]

@LisaAnne064 I find that female pilots have more precision than men pilots, they are more professional and really nail it to perfection, I agree. Oh and I am a guy, lol.

[musico81986]

Great video!

Check out my vids...!

[airplanebuilderman]

[JustPlanes]

[dc8heavy]

[kewlmynd99]

That was amazing! Thanks for posting...

[dollarboy500]

i wonder how would a glass cockpit pilot feel infront one of those

[kewlmynd99]

Any pilot would have been trained by analogue - they're not born into glass and probably won't be for a while...

[Exocisme]

On my school we just sold our last Cessna 172 with G1000 and bought a Analogue instead

[jjguz]

Is that Quito, Ecuador?

[jef1500]

i think it is :)

[projectsaa3]

The captain on the second leg was Felix Villaverde. He was our checkairman @ Fine Air.. He was the best pilot I had ever flown with and I've flown with alot of guys. he was also a very nice gentleman. We instructed in the sim together sometimes for 12 hours a day. Good times!

[jonny2387]

wonder if you knew my dad he flew for arrow then for fine air and for arrow again his name is eugenio rivera.
