Douglas DC-8 America’s second jet airliner

We loved the DC-8s, had the 71s & 73s, they were solid work horses and seemed like they would fly forever.

Nice vid ! Brings back memories of working as a line mech at SFOMM for United . Worked all series of the 8's along with taxi runup . Truly was the golden age,

[@EMAviationChannel]

Thanks a lot :)

Very nice video. A very thorough telling of the story of the DC-8. This was the first jet plane I flew on in 1965, from Madrid to JFK as a 7 year old coming to live in the USA.

[@EMAviationChannel]

oh wow what a story... you flew on DC-8 of which airline?

[@JDBotanaJr]

@EMAviationChannel IBERIA- Aerolineas de España. And then flew on from JFK to ORD in an AA 727. I was just a little kid, but already a geek for airplanes and cars.

@@JDBotanaJr 😍 you are so lucky you flew on those amazing planes 🥹

At 6:53 you see the image of a Continental DC-8 super 62...it is fotoshoped It is really a United airlines jet. Continental never flew DC-8s... they were a Boeing 707 customer. although it looks very nice!!

I flew from London to Sydney in a DC8 in 1974. I was amazed how long it took to get off the ground. On several stops along the way the pilot apologised half way through takeoff and assured people that this was normal for the DC8.

[@EMAviationChannel]

wow

Amazing jet. Subbed.

ERROR: The -70 Series were equipped with the CFM-56 Turbofan.

This was a nice video, and I'm sorry it didn't get more acknowledgement. Good Job. Just like a 2 layer Whitman's Sampler.
