An amasing a/c at the time. Remember TN was flying the 9 and 727 when the A300 rocked up. It was like a 747 on domestic routes. The first ever wide body plane to serve domestic - they looked enormous beside a DC9. To many pax it was almost unbelievable that a huge wide body plane could have only 2 engines.

The A300 was designed back in the 1960's and to see these ex TN birds still flying, well after 30 years after first their flight, is a credit to the design and maintenance of TN
