Any DC-8s preserved in the U.S.?



DC-8 in Los Angeles (pintle mounted) and not sure if the one in Hawaii has survived. Several others overseas.

The NASM has been after Witchcraft for quite a long time. They were willing to trade the P-61 at one point.

I'm going to catch some hate for this one, but I'm glad that didn't happen. A more or less time capsule airplane for one that served with a foreign country for decades overseas and has probably been restored multiple times over the years is not a trade of equivalent value. Besides, it's one of only two (technically one, since the other is an LB-30) remaining flying B-24s. If anything, NASM should have gone after one of the static display examples.......


I agree with the P-61- glad it is at UH and I love the unrestored time capsules at UH (P-38, Me-163, Black Widow, Sikorski flying boat...), and am glad to see some conservations vs restorations. Now just drag over the Sageburner F-4 and the Convair Pogo from Garber and show them as is- bird poop and all.

Also agree on the B-24- the one outside display at Barksdale (understand it is really just a shell) should really come inside for proper display, as should the one at Castle

I remember Kalitta air operating at least one (maybe more) Dc8 N814CK that crashed in Bolivia.
