Airbus A300

The Airbus A300 is a twin-engined wide-body airliner that was produced from 1971 to 2007, when the A330 and A340 took over its role. The prototype first flew on 28 October 1972 and the first commercial flight took place on 23 May 1974 with Air France.

The original version needed a crew of three in the cockpit, however, the improved A300-600 had only two pilots, as did the derivative freighter.
