Photo Comment

Delivered to Flying Tigers January 3, 1969, N767FT is pictured after the "Flying Tiger Line" titles were shortened to "Flying Tigers" in the mid-70s (although the last of the original titles remain etched on the fuselage). Converted to a DC-8-73AF in 1982, the freighter was quickly sold to UPS as N787UP and was operated by Evergreen International Airlines for United Parcel Service. Re-registered N807UP as the operation was taken over by UPS themselves. Stored at Roswell, NM in 2009, it was sold and broken up in 2010.
