Delivered to CP Air November 2, 1979 when the new DC-10s were being named after Canadian provinces. This one later became Empress of Buenos Aires and transferred to Canadian Airlines after the merger with Pacific Western Airlines. Sold to Pegasus Leasing in 2000 after Air Canada took over Canadian Airlines, the aircraft was leased to Bangladesh Biman in November 2000 as S2-ADN. It was written off July 1, 2005 landing in poor weather at Chittagong , Bangladesh when airliner ran off the side of the runway and the right main gear collapsed .
