Samaritan’s Purse retired its last DC-8 on Nov. 14, 2025, replacing it with a more efficient Boeing 767 for global relief missions.
Samaritan’s Purse retired its last Douglas DC-8 on November 14, 2025, ending the era of the world’s final U.S.-registered DC-8.
The four-engine cargo jet, acquired in 2015, completed 217 missions, delivering over 9.2 million pounds of relief supplies.
The organization has transitioned to a new Boeing 767, which made its first mission delivering food and emergency supplies to Gaza and later transported a full Emergency Field Hospital to Jamaica during Hurricane Melissa.
The 767 offers greater range, payload, and efficiency, supporting Samaritan’s Purse’s ongoing global disaster response and humanitarian efforts.
