Museum Donation

Last July, Air Transport International donated one of their last two DC-8-62CFs, N799AL, to the Naval Air Museum at Barbers Point. The DC-8 is on static display at the museum. This group shot was taken after the hand-over ceremony.

The historical part of N799AL was that it flew out of Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam to Wake Island and Travis AFB as a Department of Defense charter with ATI. In the 1980s, it flew with Hawaiian Airlines and Air Marshall Islands (but based at HNL).
