N41CX (cn 46129/523) Have you ever seen such a thing? I believe it's a compressor stall and it's the second time I saw such an incredible (and loud) happening, the first being in a L1011 taking-off! After touch-down, this DC-8 started reversing and loud bangs were noticed! [Canon 7D + Sigma 120-400] |

9G-BAN (cn 45904/309) Final cockpitshot the day before being scrapped. I guess it had been cannibalized of its instruments over the years by Meridian Airways, to keep their fleet airworthy...sad to see this long term visitor disappear after more than 13 years. |

N41CX (cn 46129/523) Sooner or later we all know that this beauty will stop coming to Lajes, unfortunately! This 43 year old bird is one of the several DC-8's in Air Transport International fleet but comparing with the newer airplanes, these glorious machines must be much more expensive to fly! Seen here leaving Lajes on a normal weekly flight! [Canon 7D + Sigma 120-400] |

N799AL (cn 45922/335) Cabin of DC-8-62 Combi. The front cabin is cargo hold and rear is a mini 32 seater cabin with 1 galley and 2 lavatories at the rear. This 40+ years old plane is immaculately maintained! Photo taken after a joy flight organised by Classic Jet Tours across California! [Nikon D300] |

N799AL (cn 45922/335) Who would have thought it is possible to fly a DC-8 in year 2012? I did it through Classic Jet Tours! With a zero cargo but full passenger load, our flight was tail heavy. With the almighty power of the DC-8, the take-off roll lasted only 20 seconds and it climbed like a rocket skywards. This is the window view from my seat. In the words of the captain, "flying a B707 feels like driving a Cadillac, flying the DC-8 feels like driving a dump truck!" [Nikon D300] |
