Notes:

Absolutely WOW!!!! Can you believe your eyes? A flying DC-8-62 in 2021!!! Definately one of my top 3 catches to date!!! Over 50 years old! Not the best light unfortunately, but I wouldn't have missed this one no matter what! Seen on departure out JNB on route home with a long trail of smoke behind.

9S-AJG - Douglas DC-8-62H(F) - Trans Air Cargo Service

Subject of the year in my opinion! One of the last flying DC-8s left in the world, and probably the last -62 model in active service
