The DC-8 was such an ugly plane.

The re-engining that was done later in its life made it look FAR better. It was like that airplane was designed for that later engine in the first place.

Totally agree the DC-8 with the CFM-56's looked so much better!

You're entitled to your wrong opinion.

Just the opposite, sir. If I would have to pick the most elegant airliner ever produced, it would be the long versions of the DC-8.

VERY livery-sensitive, but yes. A grand looking plane.

But the CFM's didn't provide all the noise and smoke! :) Is it just me or does that PA28 look to be sitting in the grass?

It's watching the taxiway :-) Bad weather spotter.

No. It's sitting atop the -8, acting as a tick-bird before takeoff.

Hot take: I prefer these engines to the CFMs.

From this angle, it looks like an engine is missing!
