Unfortunately its due to be retired from service this year and replaced with 787's, together with 1B. It will be sad to see these disappear from our skies.

They have been coming through SNN for years will be sad to see them go. Hopefully they will get a second life with someone. Smurfjed do you know what the cycles / hours are like on the two birds?

The hours/cycles are very low but the problem with these aircraft is the availability of spare parts for engines and avionics. While their purchase price would be circa $25m (Based on last A6- SP that was sold) the ability to maintain them and keep their dispatch reliability high would be a nightmare.

AN124 due into SNN shortly currently east of Dublin.

Do I see a DC-8-72 coming your way now? Haven't seen one for a long time.

You have to take a picture of the the Flightradar24 page and post it with the post. Don't know how to do that. If anyone can assist or correct me that would be great.

If you replay Flightradar24 at 1220 it is over south east Co. Limerick.

DC-8 is on the ground overnight for crew rest and departs tomorrow. Belongs to Samaritans Purse

and very nice it looks too, even with new engines on it. That is one rare bird now.

Reminds me how old I am. They would roll in to the hanger with Pratt & Whitney JT3B engines and leave with CFM56's. That was 29 years ago :eek:
