Photo Comment

This DC-8 was originally delivered to Airlift International as N6162A in August 1969. It went on to fly with Capitol, Arrow Air and National Airlines before cargo conversion. It then went to Emery Worldwide in March 1986 as N952R and on to Airborne Express in July 1995, becoming N826AX a couple of month later. It is pictured here departing off rw08L at KMIA still wearing the old scheme as the plane was transferred over to ABX Air in August 2003. It joined Johnsons Air of Ghana in November 2007, operating out of the UAE but is presently listed as stored.
