Big Dougs together!

August 13. 1985

Two executive Mc Donnell Douglas DC-8s parked together have been

worth for a picture! Model 62 VR-BHM is still flying for the same owner

26 years later, having adopted the new Bermudes prefix VP-B and repainted

in a more modern dark blue and white livery. In the background, Model 73

VR-CKA had a short 7 years carrier has an executive aircraft, before loosing 

its VIP cabin for a freighter conversion... Its last operator was Emery Worldwide.

It was retired in 2001 and stored for parts. 

July 24. 1987

UTA (Union de Transports Aériens) and Air Afrique had close

cooperation, the first sometimes flying for the second. But to see two

of their Mc Donnell Douglas DC-10-30s here together was

quiet an unique opportunity! UTA's N54629 enters its stand, while TU-TAL

basks in the sun on a remote position. The first should be a replacement

aircraft for the second!
