Love that Delta eight. That was my first ride in a jet plane back in. 1964.

Love it! I'm feeling a DC-8 spell soon. 😍

Beautiful screenshots! My first ever flight on an airliner was on a DC-8, used by Arrow Air, from Manchester to Gatwick, then to Denver, CO in 1982.

I do fly a "descendant" of DC Jets in the sim - MD-11 freighters.

Hey hey glad you guys liked the pic, I appreciate the nice comments!  😀

I picked up the Maddog X a few weeks ago and I regret not getting it sooner.

In my 20 years of simming I have to say it is the most enjoyable aircraft I've ever had. I've been flying the wings off of it and she really is something special.

I've probably logged more real life time riding in DC jets more than any other.

From a Delta DC8 Super 62 in 1971 on a round trip from New Orleans to L.A. to spend the summer with my grandmother in Hollywood to Texas International and Delta baby nines in the 70's to AA and Allegiant maddogs in more recent years.

I want to share this movie with you which is probably the most realistic portrayal of airline flying operations to come out of Hollywood.

Heavy DC8 action!

The story of Captain Mike Hagan, the best pilot in the skies- drunk or sober!

Enjoy!

Loving the shots Skully!

Glad you got into the Leonardo Maddog....I think she's one of the best out there!

Our Library manager and painter extraordinaire Brian Neuman is responsible for the NW and Delta Widget paints (I taught him well....LOL)

My last DC-8 flight was from Atlanta in a the model you're depicting in your 1st screenshot....can't remember when or where I was going (Detroit maybe?)

Great set of screens as usual!

Hey Steve! 

Brian certainly knocked the Delta and NWA paints out of the ballpark as did you with the AA, you indeed did teach him well! 

You guys are the best for all you do for us to enjoy! 😃

Thank you sirs!

You just sold another copy for them! Wow, what a great set of shots.

My first jet ride was an AA 727, but over the years I've flown on AA MD-80s more than any other jet. Good stuff
