Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Stephan Barth:

Swissair ordered seven new DC-8-62s; HB-IDI came into the fleet in 1969 and served for the airline until 1984. After final cargo services with Airborne Express as N801AX, the aircraft was seen in storage at Wilmington OH in 2001 (scrapped there in April 2004).
