What other upgrades does it have?, glass cockpit, new avionics?, because this DC-8 looks great. Good job Texas.

I see this airplane has a swiss registration.

A visitor from Sweden posted Mon June 26, 2006:
This picture is great. The colors gives me goose bumps, and the plane itself looks stunning with it's unusual engine-size to fuselage ratio.

A visitor from Norway posted Thu June 8, 2006:

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Fri April 21, 2006:
Beautiful old aerplane. Shame they don't make planes like that anymore. Lucky Tony Blair getting a flight on an old dc-8 I wish I could get a flight on one.
