Originally a DC-8-63 with Flying Tigers (N790FT) from 1969, the freighter was leased to Air India for almost a year (1982 - 1983). Flying Tigers sold and leased it back from Cammacorp during Air India's lease. Cammacorp took the aircraft back in July 1984 and converted it to a DC-8-73 for lease to German Cargo / Lufthansa Cargo 1984 - 1997 (D-ADUE), Next it flew with Emery Worldwide Airlines and Air Transport International (N606AL) until stored at Mojave, CA in 2012.
