Posted by RonInBayside on Thu Nov 10 16:47:37 2005, in response to Re: Boeing jet to break distance record, posted by WillD on Thu Nov 10 14:30:41 2005. Query: Although freight lines are buying new airplanes, they are still flying some DC-8's in freight service. How do they do that? Are all these re-engined models? The DC-8 by today's standards is a gas hog, even with newer engines. But they don't replace it (and it still needs a flight engineer, unlike the MD-10 conversions that eliminated that crew member on the DC-10). |
