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.

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.
