    The first Douglas DC-8, registration number N8008D (c/n 45252/1), "Ship One" serves as a backdrop for the 1958 dedication of a time capsule at San Francisco International Airport (SFO / KSFO) on "To Be Opened Jan. 11, 2000." As it turned out, the time capsule was opened at the United Airlines maintenance center at SFO on February 2, 2000. Apparently, video of the time capsule opening is currently a part of the SFO Museum collection.

    By coincidence I was also able to visit a time capsule being opened. When they were remodeling the San Francisco airport in the early 1990s, they discovered a barrel in the ground. Turned out it was a time capsule buried by airport employees in and designated to be opened in 2000. They set it aside and forgot about it again. Then in another remodel, they rediscovered it, kept it in view, and opened it on time. After much fanfare at the airport the tube was unsealed and inside were a few pilot uniforms, old flight schedules and pamphlets, and part of a propeller.
