Retired and Restored DC-8 Aircraft Inspires Students
Science students in the United States are getting a daily dose of inspiration from a retired United Airlines Douglas DC-8 aircraft that has been lovingly restored with coatings supplied by AkzoNobel.
After flying more than 18 million miles in 14 years, the plane - named The City of Los Angeles - was donated by United Airlines to the California Science Center in 1984. It's now on static display by the entrance to the Dr Theodore T. Alexander Jr. Science Center School.
