I've located the 14 preserved (aka not Broken up, not Written off, not laying in an airfield decaying in the Elements) Douglas Aircraft Company DC-8s. These include everything from one of the early test aircraft to a late model stretched -70 model. They are located around the world in Museums, as Ground Trainers, one is a billboard and two have been converted into personal homes.
Thanks to the usual sources of pictures, aka Airliners.net and Flickr, along with a few other sources of the real hard to find pictures of surviving aircraft.
Some surprises when I went down this rabbit hole.
