There was another South American outfit often in evidence at Miami which had some ex Alitalia DC-8 43s - their scheme owed something to the former owner as I recall! ARCA? Something like that...

Apparently a 51 rather than a 43...
Yes, ARCA painted their other DC-8s in the "ex-Alitalia" scheme, although they had come from other sources.
