N421AJ was a -30 EX JAL then turned up at Rosenbalm Aviation and converted to a frieghter. I flew it for years. had extended range tanks and a loran. you could go anywhere
. When Rosenbalm started flying for Emery they wanted it painted. So that's when it got it's first coat of paint in years. After the stageIII noise limits went into place poor 'ol AJ had to find a new home. after it left Rosie i don't know where she went but was always a good old girl

I worked for Jetway/Mark Air Transport out of YIP from 1978 to 1980. I was in KCK (Kansas City Fairfax) one day when 421AJ came in over the dyke between the Missouri River and the runway. That was one scary piece of flying. I was told that 421AJ couldn't be painted because the mechanics needed to be able to check on the amount of corrosion a DC 8 could have and still be airworthy! Tongue in cheek, I'm sure but that was one ratty looking freighter.
