CP Air DC-8 CF-CPP

[DC-10-COL]

Hello,

Regards, Colin.

Try airliners.net or jetphotos.net or other aviation photo enthusiasts websites. They often have a means of narrowing your search to specific models, airlines, registrations, airports, or serial numbers.

Good Luck.

Does anybody know what system is being serviced here??

DC-10-COL,

I worked for Worldways during the time we aquired and operated this aircraft, along with three of its sister ships. I have some very old photos of these aircraft as Worldways. There are much better ones on various websites though.

Interestingly, one of the four aircraft, though I don't remember which of them, had a plaque behind the pilot's seat, which stated that the aircraft had been flown supersonic during Douglas flight testing. An interesting aircraft, with their share of amusing stories during their time with us....

If the modest quality, but quite original, Worldways photos would help you, feel free to PM me.

one of the four aircraft, though I don't remember which of them, had a plaque behind the pilot's seat, which stated that the aircraft had been flown supersonic during Douglas flight testingThe Mach 1 diesel-8 was CF-CPG Empress of Buenos Aires. It was never operated by Worldways (that was CF-CPH), so somebody must have umm... appropriated the plaque somewhere along the way.

Very few DC-8s had APUs. Ground power plugs in on the right front and external air is right up front.
