Welcome home Fin #877
Fin #877 (C-FTIV), a former DC-8-63 stretch passenger aircraft, arrived back in Canada during April 1985, after having wintered in sunny Italy, but the sojourn was not just for pleasure. The aircraft underwent major transformative surgery at the Alenia Aeronautica plant in Venice, emerging in Cargo configuration.
On arrival at the Dorval Maintenance Base, Air Canada's world-renowned 'airplane doctors' began working around-the-clock to complete 80 related modifications before releasing the DC-8-63F for service.
All of our DC-8 Freighters feature an integral, computer-controlled weight and balance system providing flight crews with valuable information when operating in parts of the world where accurate weight and balance facilities may be lacking. DC-8s are the only aircraft in Air Canada's fleet to incorporate this system. Editors' Note: C-FTIV was orginally delivered in April 1970. It served in the AC fleet until April 1983. It was last registered as YA-VIC with Kam Air of Afghanistan in June of 2010.
