You ever fly on her?

Yep, I've been on all of them, mainly loading them. I've flown on a couple of the DC8-54's that were combi acft. They took cargo pallets in the front and I think 66 pax in the rear. I flew them out to Regina to see the relatives.

The 54's held 13 cargo pallets - 12 that were 125" x 88" and 1 in the back that was 96" x 88" (it went in sideways). They were noisy buggers.

They must have screamed on take-off....

They made your ears hurt even with your muffs on. The biggest problem working in the cargo terminal was the fact we never seemed to have our earmuffs close by when they came in.
