Photo Comment

This DC-8 was delivered to Air Canada as a -63 as CF-TIK in February 1969. It was converted to a freighter in August 1980 and modified to a -73(F) in February 1984 and is pictured here taxying out to rw27L for departure. It was withdrawn in March 1994 and went then to DHL as N801DH. In June 2003 it joined ASTAR Air Cargo and was finally retired in May 2012, ferried to Kingman (IGM) and subsequently scrapped.
