I will forever feel like I was born too young. Everything I'm drawn to tends to be phased out, no longer in production, the last of it's kind etc. The Lear 24 is no exception and I can only hope to check one out in person before they're all parked for good.

I too love these aircraft, especially the Heron, its four-engined big brother. The Heron was the first aircraft that I ever flew on as a 11-year-old in 1966. G-ASCX was built for the Luftwaffe and later sold to Ferranti Ltd. in the Lancashire, UK as Sebastian de Ferranti's executive transport. It was 1966 and my dad was working on the Bloodhound Missile installation project for the Swiss Air Force at Emmen near Lucerne. A part was needed urgently for the Launch Control Post for the missiles so G-ASCX was tasked with collecting said part from Manchester (Ringway) Airport and delivering it to Zurich. My dad asked Sebastian if he minded if may mother and I hitched a ride for a visit, he agreed and a love of the Heron/Dove began. I understand that G-ASCX is now in a museum in Launceston, Tasmania. I'd love to see her again, thanks for the memory.

I saw these quite a bit, however it’s been years since I was close to one. I was going to make a trip down to Willow Run a few days after they ended up stopping operations, that timing…💔 Even though the IFL 727s at PTK are still some of my favorite, these arguably were the prettiest. At least I got to see them up close even though not recently.

No disparagement meant to Pocatello and the university, but such an iconic aircraft would seem to be better placed at a NASA or some other national museum where more people can come to appreciate it. There are so few of these in that kind of setting. I know there are plans for, but I hope they do not paint it in the local colors and lose the legacy/meaning of this livery. The above said, this is ultra-cool, what an honor and congratulations to the University team. I hope that there is full appreciation of not only this particular aircraft but of the DC-8's place in, predominantly, commercial aviation history. Throughout the 60s and into the 70s, in terms of American carriers, the DC-8 served a major part in ushering in the jet age and along with the 707 ruled the skies, particularly long haul US domestic routes, including Hawaii, but also grandly served international carriers.

Can't help with the camera shutter - I'm primarily a stills shooter. As the phone was on zoom #3 I couldn't change it which is why it stopped before it shutdown as it was too zoomed in as it taxied in. It is what it is. Check the photos for better coverage, the link is in the description.

Beautiful a/c & clearly a 'modern marvel' of it's time - Am other side of Atlantic & wasn't aware ANY were still flying ! My local LARGE newsagent (in London) used to stock ALL of the AIRFIX kit range & I wish I'd made one as a kid In 1988 the BBC commisioned a series called "Reach For The Skies" narrated by Hollywood Film star Anthony Quale Theme music was written by Rod Argent ("She's Not There" 1964, "God Gave Rock N' Roll" 1972, etc etc.... Most impressive footage (B&W) showed a Ford Trimotor doing what women call "Loop the Loop" & at low altitude Such impressive music, footage & series, I videotaped it at the time - V.H.S seems SUCH an old method//media now But that Trimotor WAS looped at such a ridiculously & dangerously LOW altitude, pilots really "taking the pi$$" My jaw hit the deck (after seeing that amazing footage) - I had to replay the V.H.S tape about 5-6 times in succession
