VERY RARE | Douglas DC-8 take-off from Birmingham Airport 

Beautiful aircraft. The great news is she’s still active, making occasional flights out of the US 👍🏻

Nearly 3 years later and im still gutted I missed this

Such a classic and a really powerful plane when they put cfm56's on it.

I flew on one 1981 - Gatwick to Alicante.It was so powerful on take off and noisy.Everything rattled.I was new to flying and i will never forget it.

Amazing catch!! Great sound of those classic CFMs!

Love how clean Douglas wings look

She's beeeautiful! Great video. 👍✈

Amazing aircraft I flown on one in April 1986 from Manchester to malaga it was an airline called canafrica it was bloody noisy and had all different coloured seats some were blue some green it was a rickety old thing but an enjoyable time at 14 years old at first I thought it was going to crash as it was so noisy but we got to Spain eventually I dont think there's any passenger one's flying I know there's a few still flying doing cargo runs I would love to fly on another one tho!!!😎

What a gorgeous airplane, and she was so unique with her nostrils. Legend.

Wow incredible loud takeoff with awesome engine sound

Nice CFM56-2 engine sound. First CFM56 engines to date.

That one is owned and operated by Samaritan's Purse Relief International. Beautiful livery, too!

Beautiful

Awesome. WOW Very nice!

the DC-8 and the A340 is my favorite. (the DC-8 with CFM)

Gotta Love that drone of them four engines spooling up a sound you just don’t hear no more, wonder if it’ll be back

They used to have JT3D’s!!!!

Great catch thanks for sharing 👍

Wow, nice! Thumbs up 👍

What a beauty!

AMAZING

Witaj, długo trzeba było czekać na coś nowego na Twoim kanale a teraz filmik jeden za drugim👍

That wing!

Love this aircraft 😊

Newer engines for sure.

nice did not think one was still flying!

Hell yeah that buzz!!!!

Close your eyes and it sounds like a C-17

No smoking with the cfm,s fitted

this sound looks like b757 and a340 200 or 300

Nice video. Not too rare for a 70 series, but more so a 72! Almost all 72s were private VIP planes, unless she was a freighter when 62 series, and stayed a freighter. Rare would have been a 61/63. She was probably been delivered somewhere. Still, nice video ideed.

Those planes like the DC 8, 9 and Boeing 707, 727 were discontinued because they make too much noise

That made me a little dizzy watching.

Hey Can i use this in a video of mine? I cant find your email on your channel otherwise i would have shot you an email

Great video 😊 my video of it should be premiering soon. Liked & aubbed 👍👍

Engines don't look like the original p and w ones

last dc-8?

Looks like it's been re engined?

stunning plane with wrong fat engines

Hush Kitted.

Nothing on YT is rare.

Very Quiet engines! Like as A340-300

Doubtful, wrong engines.

Too quiet. 👎🏼
