Personal memories

Have you been there sometimes ???? 🙂 😉

there’s a DC-8 parked up outside the Jet Aviation hangar at BSL, too, where I used to work. The BSL division is more a Maintenance/outfitting base (BBJ’s and ACJ’s get their interior there, along with all kind of Gulfstreams, Falcons and Challengers, plus the occasional widebody). They also handle some airlines, which is what Jet at ZRH mostly do, ie check-in, although Jet Zurich also has an air taxi fleet, including that DC-8.

try looking up www.jetaviation.com

Incidentally, Hand… nice airport in your original pic 😉

Thanks Andrew:)

I only managed to find this one… Jet Aviation of Switzerland, though Im not sure if its a private airline, judging by the c/s it looks as if it could be.

All the other DC-8 operators in Europe are Cargo.

Does somebody know if any DC8 is still operated in western europe for passenger service?

The one in the foreground has been refitted with high bypass engines

The company that I used to work for in the 80s at STN used to handle these Pointair Mulhouse DC8s when they visited for maintenance at the ATEL facility. We also used to see a B707 in just Pointair colours which still retained its PanAm cheatline…happy days!

Unfortunately , I don’t remember which one of those ladies it was about …

thats such a beauty!!!!!!
