  • DapperJas, I believe these are actually low bypass turbofans not turbojets on this 8 although it would be nice to hear a pure turbojet airliner again. I used to provide ground support  for these beautiful aircraft.

  • That's right, Can't say what the last turbo-jet powered civil plane was. Prolly early 707 or CV880.

  • Are these nowadays (2010) repainted MERIDIAN airways?

  • Affirm, have five now. AXA, AXB, AXC, AXE, AXD and AXE. Still flying for UK MOD. Textile flights now and then, did charters for Haiti and a sporadic charter. AXB is still in Peru. One other B-check at Manston.

  • Nice for plane-lovers

    horrible for environmentalists...

  • I don't know why ACE stops in Ostend on the Basrah runs. Maybe Diplomatic clearances or something like that.

    The two 'stored' DC-8's are waiting to be scrapped when they have accumulated enough fees.

  • @patriot0048 Yes I remember the Delta DC-8s with the prominent word "FanJet" on the tail.

  • @MKA742 737-100 I'd say.

  • Good shot of a DC 8 landing at the opening of Elvis's "Blue Hawaii".

  • always preferred the old 'dougies over the boeings got that special bit of charm about em

  • Can anyone tell me why the DC8 lands, and takes of straight away? It doesn't stop for refueling, or something like that..

    There are also 2 DC8's parked at Ostend airport, they are in a bad condition, does anyone have an idea what's going to happen to them?
