UPS DC-8's

The 8's are primarily used for domestic only, and then mostly short-haul. They currently operate 45 DC-8-73 & 71's. And expect to continue for about another 10 years. They stopped using the 8 for Int'l ops when relieabilty became problem. The A-300f is replacing some of the 8 routes domesticly and the plan is purchase around 90 total a-300's. they currently have about 35 busses. As for the 747 they are being replaced by MD-11's, and should be completly gone by 2006.
