Late to the party, Patrick, fantastic photography, great angles and love from all of us on Staten Island, New York. God bless you.

This is an excellent video for the fans of the DC-8 super 63. It is interesting to see how the 747 and DC-10 Tower over the DC-8 even though the DC-8 is a huge airplane. and what a clean take off, hardly any smoke. This is a great video 👍

Brilliant! 👍🏻 In my days at LTN I fondly remember seeing Aer Turas operating various types over many years. DC-4, DC-7, Bristol Britannia, Canadair CL44J and this magnificent DC-8-63

I remember seeing a Aer Turas DC-8 at JFK with a different paint scheme. Thank you for sharing this!

Ye ole greasy eight. Snap, crackle, pop...as little pieces of the fan bi-ducts go flying out the back... Thanks for the memories, Patrick.

[@patrickvereecke6654]

Glad you enjoyed it , my pleasure Dave , appreciate your feedback , always

[@jetstream454]

Was this really a common issue?

[@davef.2329]

@@jetstream454 Yes, esp. on long, heavy, max-effort takeoffs. The diverter vanes in the fan bi-ducts were of very thin aluminum and they would sometimes lose little pieces around the edges. I suppose the air may have been approaching trans-sonic speeds, or some such.

Amongst many many aviation videos, on one is to explain how captains keep the nose wheel on taxi line!

[@orlandinabellini395]

Troppo taxi ma e'-reale. Attenzione attraversamento volatili (uccelli non aerei ah ah) bello come sempre bay

[@jorgechichiri5792]

It looks like a -62 to me.
