The mid-80s were turbulent years for airlines, especially in Canada. Quebecair replaced it's BAC 111s with 737s for domestic flights and leased two DC-8-63s for trans-Atlantic charters. The charters only lasted a few years and this DC-8 went to Nationair at the end of 1985. Unfortunately, the Quebecair name also passed into history by the end of 1986.
