Funny this should crop up as I was in my garden, long finals for 22L at Helsinki Vantaa, and thought I saw a stretched DC8 pass over.

Sadly I can't remember whether it was the end of last week or this past monday.

My wife said it was an SAS aircraft but I was not so sure and, looking on google, I see that Air Transport International are listed as having a DC8-70 series aircraft.

Their colour scheme could possibly be mistaken for SAS, their both blue, from the ground at least 3000 feet away.

Does anyone know if they have any European charters at the moment.

Another possibility is that it was a Russian built aircraft but I can't think of one that looks like a stretched DC 8
