I did get quite a few shots taken before the security guard approached in his truck. The top photo shows two stretch DC-8's, the full one being Air Canada and the three-colored tail is Alitalia, the Italian flag carrier.
The second and third photos show different angles of the same spot on the finishing line: An SAS stretch DC-8 tail is on the right. In the middle of the second and third photographs is a Southern DC-9. To the left of the Southern DC-9 in the middle photograph is a Northeast Yellowbird DC-9, and to the right of the Southern DC-9 is an SAS DC-9. Behind the Southern DC-9 in the bottom photograph is an Air Canada DC-9.
The original DC-8's could not carry as many passengers as the 707. These stretch DC-8's, though coming a bit late in the decade, could carry as many passengers with lengthened fuselages and upgraded and more powerful engines: Series 61, 62, and 63. The 61 could carry the most passengers but was not the long range version. The 62 was the long range version but could not carry as many passengers as the 61. The 63 was longer range like the 62 but could carry more passengers than the 62.
