The airframe's history includes a complex chain of lessors and operators; in 1992, Kalitta Air traded the overhauled DC-8 to Air Zaïre as 9Q-CLV in exchange for another aircraft, 9Q-CLG. Air Zaïre, the national carrier of Zaire (present-day Democratic Republic of Congo), operated the DC-8-54F on intercontinental cargo and passenger routes until the airline's closure in the mid-1990s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eLivery \u0026amp; Visual Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fuselage is white. A wide red cheatline runs from below the cockpit along the entire fuselage length, flanked above by a thin gold stripe and below by a thin dark-green stripe. \"AIR ZAÏRE\" is printed in black serif capitals on the forward fuselage above the red band. Registration 9Q-CLV appears in black on the rear fuselage. The vertical stabilizer is white with a large dark-green field extending from the trailing edge forward; within the green section, a circular emblem with a gold border depicts a stylized bird or national emblem in gold linework.

This DC-8-54F in Air Zaïre colors covers a subject seldom released by other manufacturers.
