    Pretty close Steve, I think it’s 41, eventually to be replaced by Airbus’s. Happy New Year!

    Ah such a shame to a still useful classic been condemed!

    Which brings me to ask how many DC-8s are there left flying in the world?

    Of 556 built, there were 140 still flying as of 13/3/05.

    Confirmed by another forum, she has flown her last.:( 🙁

    “Yes, It will unfortunately be scrapped. I know one of it s FEs.

    It s a shame when you see how nice it was still looking. However, it is not the first immaculate DC-8-72 to be scrapped. Aramco s DC-8-72 (N728A) was scrapped in Opa Locka 3 years ago.

    But when the value of the spare parts is higher than the amount the aircraft can be selled for, then these birds all get the same end.”

    Is there any such plane out there? I think such a plane is technically possible, although I may be wrong 😀 Such a plane could combine the advantages of a single engine with the advantages of a twin prop…

    I am certain I can’t be the first person to think about it. 🙂

    Duh! Wright Biplane?:D

    It had a picture of a Spitfire and the word Kent on the cover, but it wasn’t the Kent Spitfire book, only a history of ‘front line Kent’ still it’s the thought that counts. Surprised that no-one has got a R/C helicopter yet!

    I appreciate the courteous and apologetic announcement from MaxJet, makes a change from the usual ‘ceased business messages’. This is confirmation of the rumour that they were talking to EOS earlier this month. Sad news for the employees at this time of year.

    Looking at the Google map on that link, it would have been an interesting DC-3 flight from South America, in fact from Canada!

    I started one of them when I joined, I have a feeling there could be a lot more questions coming soon 😮

    I expect I did too, until I found or was told about using the search button before posting. Welcome to the Forum!
