But Dear Good Sir: They are so very closely related - they follow each other and trouble around just like the L1011's and trouble do.
Aviation, an aircraft, its operation and even as in these DC-8's case unfortunately come together to form "the aircraft" and the common denominator in what they have been or are up to is often the human beings behind it/them.
In Africa we have many and often banned aircraft because of the shininnigans (nonsense) they have been involved with. I pity these machines because it is not these graceful creations that screw up and be banned, but some of persons/operators behind them.
In the case of the DC-8's think most will agree that these beautiful old machines attract dubious types like a candle does a moth.
Please have mercy!
