The DC8 Super 60 Series, to be exact, or "stretched" DC8s as we used to call them. These were the A340 of their day .. four engines, very long range (6,000 miles), high passenger capacity (200 - 220 pax) even though they were narrow-body planes (three seats, centre aisle, three seats). They were wildly popular with airlines, and a bunch of these planes continue to fly today as freighters.

There is also a short, non-stretched DC8 ("standard" DC8) that is the original airplane (stretch version came about later). Air Canada had both versions in its fleet, generally running the short ones on domestic trans-cons and the stretched birds on trans-Atlantic routes. CP Air, Eastern, United, KLM, and many other airlines did the same thing. See attached pix, taken in the 60s and 70s mainly from the roof of the old Toronto Terminal 1 (not by me, found them on Airliners.net). In the photo called AC DC8s you can see both versions side-by-side, the stretch job at front, the standard DC8 behind it. The old Trans Canada Airlines shot is a standard DC8. I've also included CP Air DC8s (standard and stretched).

DC8 was a great plane. Its closest competitor was the 707. Even though the 707 came out a year or two before the DC8, it still sold well. It was eventually replaced in passenger service by the 767, L-1011 and DC-10 - all of which were much quieter and far more fuel efficient.

These things used to smoke like crazy on take-off. Great sound too. See
