CP Air's DC-8-43s were withdrawn as deliveries of the new DC-10-30s arrived. After stripping almost everything except the registration, mechanics added some flair as they put this one in open storage. Sold to ARCA Colombia in December, but was never used and broken up in 1990. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
