Once KLM's PH-DEC, this aircraft has been well known in Europe of late flying for Meridian as 9G-AXC. At the beginning of 8.10 the cargo airline was grounded over maintenance shortcomings and the DC-8s are parked at Ostend. Was operated by TransCon from 5.89 to 12.90; converted to freighter 7.91 and flew as both N787AL and N788AL for ATI then N828AX with Airbourne Express. Ended up as 9G-AXA with Meridian and ferried to Accra after storage at Ostend in 9.11 but grounded by Ghana CAA at the end of 2013

Delivered to Canadian Pacific January 17, 1968, the "Empress of Tokyo" really stands out in the snowscape. CP Air sold the aircraft to Worldways Canada in 1983 and was flown until they ceased flying in 1990. Aerolease Financial bought it in 1991 and converted the stretch eight to a freighter. Air Transport International operated the aircraft for Burlington Air Express in BAX colors and ATI colors until put into storage at Marana, Arizona in 2003.

Canadian Pacific was in the middle of changing its identity to CP Air when this photo was taken of CF-CPS in its original livery. Luckily, taxiway works meant a circuitous trip from the terminal to the Qantas Jet Base, bringing Empress of Madrid within range of a 55mm lens.

CF-CPQ and TAA Boeing 727 VH-TJA collided at Sydney airport on the night of January 29, 1971. There were 240 people on the two aircraft. The report found the CP Air crew had backtracked instead of exiting while the crew of the 727 was criticised for failing to see the DC-8 when they had time to stop and not adopting a steeper climb-out when they did. The controller was largely exonerated because from his position at night it was difficult to see if the DC-8 was on the runway or the taxiway. The 727 safely landed despite losing hydraulics from a large hole in the belly. No injuries.

Old slide of somewhat disappointing quality, but interesting nevertheless. CP Air was a very frequent visitor at Amsterdam for many years. In 1981 they still operated their DC-8s into Schiphol, but they would soon change that to their similarly coloured DC-10s. CF-CPP "Empress of Alberta" is seen here in their striking orange colour scheme, shortly after touchdown on runway 19R.

Nostalgia on final for runway 01R… During the mid 1980s Hawaiian Air briefly operated a service into Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. It was always flown by this aircraft, which was their only DC-8-63. It was leased only two months before this shot was made (ex Iberia/Aviaco EC-BQS), and operated for ten years, until sold to Airborne Express as N822AX in 1994 and converted to a freighter. By 2003 it had been withdrawn from use.

Coming off the line for SAS as "Ring Viking" in 9.68 and going to Thai as HS-TGZ in 3.74, this DC-8 became OY-SBM for Sterling in 7.84 but found her way back to SAS under two years later. The original registration was restored when Scanair took her over in 9.87. Converted to freighter in 4.89 and sold to Aer Turas as EI-CGO. Scrapped as 9G-NHA at Lagos early 2013
