DC-8 Pictures
Photo above is of my DC-8 in it's origional paint job. I think it looks awesome and I am going to repaint the cockpit in this scheme. At this time it's registration was N8274H.
These were taken at Waco Texas before the nose had been completely removed from the rest of the fuselage, and is what it looked like when I first saw it. A backhoe was used to tear the plane apart and is why it looks so jaggad. Click the small thumbnails for larger pictures.
Pictures below are from the first trip where we failed to recover the cockpits. The nose gear was extended to keep the cockpit from being rolled by the wind.
The picture below was at the truck stop, where we had to leave the cockpits for the weekend. It's not exactly a sight you see every day!
Pictures below were taken the day we made it home.
The next six pictures below were taken March 22, 2002.
In the photo above you can see that I removed the instrument panels and glareshield to restore them.
I'm 6'2 and the floor is a tad bit higher than my head!
