The original A300B proved Airbus could compete with Boeing. Most survivors fly cargo now, but every one is a piece of aviation history.
Fun fact
The A300 was the first twin-engine widebody, launched in 1972 when everyone said you needed three or four engines.
How to spot one
The first Airbus ever built. Wide fuselage, twin engines. Almost all in cargo service now. Few left flying.
