It is the first Flying Eye Hospital donated by United Airlines. In its first two years of operation, the Orbis DC-8 visited 24 countries and held programs emphasizing the hands-on transfer of surgical skills. By the late 1980s, as replacement parts for the aging DC-8 became more difficult and expensive to obtain. Funded by private donations, Orbis purchased its current DC-10 in 1992. The DC-8 was retired and donated to China Aviation Museum near Beijing.
