Braniff International Douglas DC-8-62

This aircraft, serial number 45896/303 and registered N1804, served Braniff International using this attractive Alexander Girard's "Jelly Bean" livery in the 60's. This aircraft suffered a runway overrun in Quito, Ecuador on April 23th 1968, the aircraft was repaired in-situ and was returned to service. It finished its life with Arrow Cargo ironically overrunning a runway again in Singapore 39 years later demonstrating in its long life the reliability and long lasting service of the mighty DC-8.
