  • Samaritan's Purse purchased the 1969 Douglas DC-8-72CF airplane from an Australian cargo carrier-just before it was going to be turned into scrap parts-to shorten the organization's disaster relief response time as it responds with personnel and supplies all over the world.
    Samaritan's Purse inspected, replaced, or refurbished every square inch of the airplane to ensure it met the latest FAA standards.
    Less than 24 hours after the FAA gave the final sign-off, Samaritan's Purse airlifted an Emergency Field Hospital, doctors, nurses and disaster response specialists to Ecuador in response to a devastating 7.8 magnitude earthquake. From this location, medical staff treated more than 1,200 people in need
    The DC-8 has a range of 7,000 nautical miles-in perspective, that would be a nonstop flight from Charlotte, North Carolina, to Tokyo.
    The aircraft is based at a Samaritan's Purse hangar at Piedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro, North Carolina.

    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.

    Did he really need to back taxi for that extra 100 ft. of runway to take off??

    • @bse67
      @bse67 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      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.
