McDonnell Douglas DC-8-53, registered PI-C801 (later re-registered RP-C801 following a Philippine registration prefix change), flew for Philippine Airlines as part of the carrier's fleet of DC-8s supporting long-haul international routes connecting Manila to destinations across Asia, the Middle East, and beyond. Philippine Airlines was among the significant Asian operators of the DC-8, using the type to establish the carrier's early long-haul international network during the 1960s and 1970s. As part of this historic fleet, PI-C801 supported PAL's role as one of Asia's oldest continuously operating airlines during the jet age's early decades.
Designed to compete with the Boeing 707, the DC-8 was first flown on May 30th, 1958. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
