Douglas Dc-8-73f
Manufacturer: DOUGLAS
The Douglas DC‑8‑73f is a re‑engined freighter version of the DC‑8‑73, part of the Super 70 Series. It replaces the original JT3D engines with the quieter, more efficient CFM56‑2 turbofan and features new nacelles, pylons, avionics, and wing skins. The aircraft retains the DC‑8’s four‑engine, low‑wing design and can carry a large cargo load.
