Hey!! The 8 is great, not old!! The Dc8s I fly have almost as much modern avionics, power, and upgrades as anything coming off of the line today! As a mater of fact, they are cheaper to operate and more fuel efficient on our runs than any of our newer aircraft such as the A300-600, B757, B767, or certainly our B747 (though ours are the older 747s!). Our company is planning to keep the “-73s” in the air for another 14 years but will be retiring the “-71s” a few years earlier. To be honest, they are best suited for freight or packages today. Good luck in your pursuits. If you persevere, you will get there. Attitude and effort make luck.
