Photo Comment

Overseas National Airways took delivery of this DC-8-63 freighter on May 29, 1969. Except for short periods of lease (Austrian Airlines OE - IBO 1974 74 and Loftleidir Icelandic TF-FLC 1977 - 79), it has remained registered. N865F. It was leased or chartered by a list of airlines longer than my arm before retired in 2012. Last operated by Murray Air / National Airlines, the aircraft was donated to the Yankee Air Museum and preserved / stored at Detroit Willow Run since the end of 2012.
