Seaboard World Airlines

Seaboard World Airlines was an international all-cargo airline based in the United States. Its headquarters were on the grounds of John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.

Seaboard World Airlines (ICAO Code: SEW; IATA Code: SB; Callsign: Seaboard) was founded on September 16, 1946 as Seaboard & Western Airlines. It adopted the name Seaboard World Airlines in April 1961. Jet cargo service started in 1964 with the introduction of the Douglas DC-8. Seaboard World Airlines DC-8 N868F taken in 1974.

The airline played a prominent role in the Vietnam War during the late 1960s, using Douglas DC-8-63 jets to connect McChord Air Force Base, Washington with Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, fairly close to the front lines with North Vietnam. In 1968, one of these flights operating as Seaboard World Airlines Flight 253A was forced to land in the Soviet Union with 214 American troops on board. One infamous incident was the Seaboard World Airlines landing at Marble Mountain, where a DC-8-63 accidentally landed at a helicopter airstrip in Vietnam.
