Hi allHere's one on my flights now. ABFF5D National Airlines Flight ID MUA801registration N872SJ DC-8-71 routing Shannon to Bourgas.John
Good catch John - was he ADS-B?Good to see the classic aircraft still getting around - I fear their days are numbered given the increase in pax airliner conversions now taking over traditional freight ops, however I have noticed a considerable increase in Russian built frames (An12 &26's) buzzing around UK airspace over recent weeks - long may they continue!

This airframe is a pax airliner conversion too, incidentally - first delivered to United Air Lines in 1969.
