@kenpalmer1965 The DC8-62 series first flew in 1966.... I would assume since it was at the gate and it said Japan Air Lines on it that it was indeed in regular passenger service. Japan Air Lines still flies today.
One of my earliest memories of aircraft was watching a DC-8 take off from Prestwick when I was about five years old. I think It was an Air Canada, but I could be wrong. The engines screamed. The ground shook. And a little boy from Paisley was absolutely captivated. I still love the DC-8.
