Photo Comment

Delta Airlines was a rare visitor to Toronto, especially with a DC-8, so this evening sighting was most welcome. N805E was delivered to Delta in November 1959 with early Pratt & Whitney JT3C engines. It was later converted to a DC-8-50 with higher by-pass JT3Ds before sold to F B Ayer in 1980. The aircraft was set to go to TAE - Trabajos Aéreos y Enlaces S.A as EC-DKH but was not take up. It was stored at Paris - Charles de Gaulle until scrapped in 1985.
