Known as "Betsy". After being repurchased by Cathay Pacific, the DC-3 returned to Hong Kong from Sydney with stops along the way at Coolangatta, Cairns, Port Moresby, Wewak, Biak, Davao and Manila. Betsy arrived in Hong Kong on 23 September 1983. The following day, Betsy made her final flight with a harbour flypast to mark the airline's 37th anniversary. She is now placed in the Hong Kong Science Museum.
