McDonnell Douglas DC-8-73

McDonnell Douglas DC-8-73

The DC-8-73 is the re-engined "Super Seventy" version of the ultimate -63, combining the largest DC-8 fuselage with modern CFM56 power. These conversions became prized long-haul freighters, flying for cargo carriers and package firms into the twenty-first century. It represents the final, most refined form of a first-generation jetliner.
