Over 250 A300s are still in service (mainly freight). We need to add this beauty!
The DHL livery will be an interesting feature for that beauty!
Never would’ve been a successful Airbus if it hadn’t been for Eastern accepting the deal!
So I didn’t realize that the first Airbus was a widebody! At a first glance, I assumed it was just a fat narrowbody (mainly because of how short it is).
Definitely would vote for it if I had the vote available!

“With the pioneering A300, Airbus Industrie proved its sceptics - especially those across the Atlantic - wrong and mounted a credible challenge to U.S. domination in the heavy airline market. The A310 development further strengthened the Europeans’ credibility with its unprecedented performance.”
