Photo Comment

Pictured in transition colors during the amalgamation of Pacific Western Airlines and CP Air, C-GCPU was delivered June 12, 1981. Christened "Empress of Fort Nelson" before the merger, the aircraft would follow on with the Canadian / Air Canada merger in 2001 and fly for Zip Air until September 2003. Sold to Polaris leasing, it was placed with Meripati Nusantara Airlines in December 2004. Withdrawn in October 2008, the aircraft was stored at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Jakarta.
