Information from airhistory.net - thanks to Alastair T. Gardiner:

This DC-10 was originally delivered to Alitalia in May 1975 as I-DYND and then to PIA as AP-BBL in May 1983. The plane went on to CP Air in December 1985 as C-FCRE and then Canadian in April 1987. From June 1991 it had just over a year with VASP as PP-SON but the plane is perhaps best known as on its return to service with Canadian it wore the 'Spirit of Canadian / L'Esprit de Canadien' special scheme. In March 2000 it was retired, ferried to MZJ and eventually scrapped in September 2003.
