Was an easy fun airplane to fly, I spent 5 years in it before stepping farther back in time to the DC-8.
I never flew it, but Engineered on it for 1 year when I first got hired at the majors.
You're lucky to have flown a DC-8; many years from now, you'll be telling young pilots you flew it, and they'll be very impressed.
