AIR NEW ZEALAND took delivery of it's first DC-8-52 (ZK-NZA) on July 19th 1965. The airline operated this aircraft until January 1977 when it commenced retiring its DC-8 fleet upon acquiring more DC-10-30's. During its AIR NZ service this particular aircraft was leased to KLM ROYAL DUTCH AIRLINES .... from May 27th 1969 until September 20th 1969 .... and during which time it first supported the late 1960's era KLM fuselage livery with the same era AIR NZ tail for a short period and prior to supporting full KLM livery later. In KLM service this aircraft was re-registered PH-ADA and named "Anthony FOKKER" ....
