History:
The Douglas DC-8 (also known as the McDonnell Douglas DC-8) is a four-engine long-range narrow-body jet airliner built from 1958 to 1972 by the Douglas Aircraft Company. Launched after the competing Boeing 707, the DC-8 nevertheless kept Douglas in a strong position in the airliner market, and remained in production until 1972 when it began to be superseded by larger wide-body designs, including the Boeing 747, McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and Lockheed L-1011 TriStar. The DC-8's design allowed it a slightly larger cargo capacity than the 707 and some re-engined DC-8s are still in use as freighters.

@Thenewowenbuilder must be something with an update to the physics with the engines and all, because when the plane was built, I could only get it to about 500mph

As a Swiss guy I have to upvote this !
This is the best dc8 replica I have ever seen. One improvement: can you possibly do words? I know some people can, but maybe it's too hard.
