DC-8
I don't know if this qualifies as nostalgia, but does anyone know of any DC-8 aircraft in passenger configuration that are still either airworthy or operating?
I know there are plenty of cargo aircraft but I was wondering if any passenger aircraft are still around?

Thanks ferrydude. I read something about there still being one or two aircraft operating privately in VIP config. Can't find anything specific online though.

Thank you both for the information, very helpful.
I expected that there would be none remaining in full airline config, thanks for confirming that ferrydude.

Kashoggi's DC-8
Late '80s, his DC-8-73 was parked at Bournemouth with care and maintenance being done by FR Aviation.
In 1990 I saw it in service with Connie Kalitta at Willow Run, Detroit.
Not sure if it is still flying though.
