This plane was in service with Alitalia from 1960 to 1977 (the DC-8-43) and then the DC-8-62 was in service from 1967 to 1981. It had 142 seats altogether in the aircraft. The airplane was involved in an accident on May 5th 1972 when it crashes on approach to Punta Raisi Airport, Italy in night time conditions when the crew failed to follow the ground controller’s insturctions and it crashed into a crest on Mount Longa. All 115 on board died
