DC-8 Series 63: The "Super DC-8" Series 63 was the final new-build variant and entered service in June 1968. It had the long fuselage of the -61, the aerodynamic refinements and increased fuel capacity of the -62 and 19,000 lb (85.1 kN) JT3D-7 engines. This allowed a maximum takeoff weight of 350,000 pounds (158,760 kg). Like the -62, the Series 63 was also available as a cargo door equipped -63CF or all cargo -63AF. The freighters had a further increase in Maximum Take Off Weight to 355,000 pounds (161,030 kg). Eastern Air Lines bought six -63PFs with the strengthened floor of the freighters but no cargo door. Production included 41 DC-8-63s, 53 -63CF, 7 -63AF, and 6 -63PFs. The Flying Tiger Line was a major early customer for the DC-8-63F.
