As a line maintenance engineer at TAA / AA, I remember working many long night shifts on the A300's - fan blade lubes, reverser cables jamming, fan trim balancing ....... all the fun stuff!
For info - all of the old AA A300's are still in service as follows:
VH-TAA (MSN 134) - now freighter with Midex, Reg: A6-MDF
VH-TAC (MSN 157) - now freighter with Midex, Reg: A6-MDA
VH-TAD (MSN 196) - now freighter with Midex, Reg: A6-MDB
VH-TAE (MSN 218) - now freighter with Midex, Reg: A6-MDC
VH-TAB (MSN 151) - now in pax service with Iran Air, Reg: EP-IBI
