Eastern A300s - A Marriage Made In Heaven

[RStretton]

I just acquired the CO Globe A300 and it made me think that I couldn't do their story without first focusing on that of Eastern's A300s. So here it is. Eastern really needed a plane like the A300 and without this deal it is conceivable that Airbus may have never been successful enough to make the A320. So it truly was a marriage made in heaven. Read all about it with loads of photos here:

Great to read your historical account on the Eastern A300 deal and all of the additional pictures. Eastern A300s remind me of my childhood and my facination with airlines and airliners. Regret that I've never had a ride on an A300.
