Thanks, Deeknow

Too bad nobody and the video poster do not know where the plane was heading to. Maybe someone expert in cattle might know the answer??

Regards,

I've seen photos of old propliners transporting cattle in South America and they actually removed the passenger doors altogether and flew with them open. Only an option if you don't need pressurization of course!

That is very interesting. Makes me wonder if DC-8-63F was going to cruise at 10,000 ft???? Anyway, the take off of DC-8 showed the doors closed
