The Douglas DC-8 was one of the first commercial, long range jets manufactured. Trans-Canada Air Lines introduced DC-8’s to its routes on April 1, 1960; modifications to the original aircraft and subsequent generations made it possible for this airplane to remain an acclaimed member of the TCA/Air Canada Passenger fleet over a 23-year span to 1983.
In November, 1983 the first of six aircraft was reintroduced into service as a Cargo plane following re-engining to conform to new environmental specifications.
