Originally delivered to Eastern Airlines (N8771), this DC-8 is pictured during it's ten years operating with Air Jamaica (1973 - 83). There followed a (too) long list of leases with registrations N914CL, TF-VLW, C-GMXD, 5N-HAS and N914BV all before it was converted to a freighter in 1994. Bought by AeroParts in June 1998, it was scrapped the following month and the registration finally cancelled in 2012.
