McDonnell Douglas DC-8-61, registered N912R, flew for Saudia (Saudi Arabian Airlines) as part of the Saudi flag carrier's fleet of stretched DC-8s supporting the airline's expanding international network during the 1970s. Saudia grew rapidly during this period as oil wealth fueled the kingdom's aviation ambitions, and the DC-8-61's added capacity over the airline's earlier 720Bs supported this growth. As part of this fleet, N912R supported Saudia's transition from a smaller regional carrier into a major international airline before the carrier's eventual transition to Boeing 747s and other widebody aircraft.
Designed to compete with the Boeing 707, the DC-8 was first flown on May 30th, 1958. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
