The plane was bought new to Finnair in 1969 where it mostly flew across the Atlantic. In 1981 it and another similar DC-8 were sold to the French Air Force who upgraded the engine to CFM56s for military transport across the world. In 2005 it was sold to ATI and in 2015 to the present owner.
Oh, It did take off. Looked like they were just going for a drive around the English countryside in a 70 series DC-8. Beautiful airplane though. My first flight was onboard a United Airlines DC-8-63 series in "Friend-Ship" livery.

Good question, mate. My guess is that Samaritan's Purse operations specifications (Ops Specs) approved by the FAA prohibit intersection take-offs, requiring the use of full runway length.

Se ve en excelente estado y mejor que otros aviones de unos 10 años se antigüedad, se nota que le dan mantenimiento
It's a miracle the magnificent dc-8 still flies it's really magnificent and will always be my favorite plane

Absolutely beautiful!
I'm old enough to remember seeing a Pan Am DC8 at Prestwick.
Me too! N801PA For example.
The trademark DC 8 PAC nose scoops visible at 5:05
Beautiful plane, wow
Stunning!
Such a cool aircraft
Nice catch that, it flew over us (East Yorkshire) at around 34Tft on the way to Prestwick.

@JZ's BFF Batteries also weight nothing.
Nuclear is always the solution
Did he really need to back taxi for that extra 100 ft. of runway to take off??
