Just curious... Theres a new Diesel 8 in town. Anyone know who it is flying for. I think it came from Compass Air or something similar? Seems to be a -62.
Anyone around flying it?

if colour white with blue stripe it is probably african intl 62, however could it be the mysterious kinshasa airways ??:confused:
Saw DC8 - White with Deep Blue lettering something like
"Kinshasa" & below that "Spirit of Congo" forward plus Arabic script over wing
It was on ramp at Khartoum pm Thursday 6 February
Interesting... was driving home the other day, an saw a DC8 in here in LUX.... Caught something out of the corner of my eye that seemed to say Spirit. Have to ask around on Monday.

Thanx for the info. No I know Alan Stokesīs aircraft. This is not one of them. I doubt if this is one of the Spirit of Africa/Gulf Falcon aircraft. I am thinking it might be a new outfit, one that they where looking crews for in FI a few months back.
Cheers
