You can help get the DC-8 home!

Bringing the historic DC-8 aircraft to Kansas City will provide a number of educational benefits. The DC-8 represents one of the first displays that highlight cargo operations and the importance to our world’s economy. We hope to build up more displays that include cargo loaders, containers and more. In addition, it will be used by AIM and high school programs. We even hope to bring NASA to the museum.

Arrival ceremony
Once we have the date set for the ferry flight, we will be making announcements and an arrival
ceremony will be held at the National Airline History Museum. We hope you will join us.
