Although only 7X DC-8's currently remain in "OPERATIONAL" condition (including those in storage pending reactivation) many more still exist in either in storage, as preserved exhibits, or in various states of dereliction around the world and still awaiting their fate.

The following illustrated presentation (not sure how current this is .... although it appears to be 2020 date) purportedly lists all known DC-8 aircraft remaining in existence around the world today ....

AND .... to close off "DC-8 WEEK" 2024 (May 30th was the 66th anniversary of the DC-8's first flight): Ever since 2000 HJG's usually launched some kind of anniversary reflection upon the DC-8.

The following links each relate to "photographic memories" of these aircraft as flown by a selection of their most prolific operators from around the world ....

Nice to reflect upon the real world past .... and what we can now no longer be seen, heard, or otherwise (easily) experienced (personally I consider myself fortunate to have a lot of good memories .... as well as one "really bad one too" .... flying on AIR NZ DC-8-52's and the HAWAIIAN SUPER 63) .... but which have otherwise now been revived, in a virtual sense, and provided "HERE" at HJG, and for those whom wish to 'FREELY" partake of and hopefully enjoy.

It should be remembered that whilst this group represents a good selection of "historic" jetliners, the DC-8 is "THE SIMULATION" that launched HJG back in 2000, so, it's of special significance to this group. The history of HJG can be reviewed within the following link ....
