Photo Comment

After CP Air converted DC-10-30 "Empress of Honolulu" to an ER in 1985, it was re-christened the "Empress of Auckland". It was also one of the few aircraft to wear CP Air, Canadian Pacific and Canadian titles while in the Orange CP Air color scheme as the airline quickly morphed into Canadian Airlines during the mid 80s.
