Side view of a very large, twin engined jet freighter with an over-sized cargo hold on top of an already pretty big body, with the front of the fuselage hinged upwards, giving access to the cargo area. The plane is mostly white, with very large titles "The Super Transporter" on the side of the upper fuselage, each word in yellow, red, and blue, respectively. The black registration "F-GTSD" is on the lower rear fuselage. The rear fuselage and tail have a thick, diagonal blue band with smaller red, orange, and yellow bands towards the rear, with the white word "Airbus" overlaid on the blue stripe. That same logo, minus the text, is repeated on the wingtip fences on the ends of the wings. There are large end plates on the horizontal stabiliser, with the number "4" on both the inner and outer faces. There is a large, white fillet extending the tail to meet the massively extended upper fuselage, that fuselage extension eating up a large chunk of the normal tail. There is a white set of mobile airstairs parked leading up to the open freight deck, with people climbing the stairs, and others admiring the view from the open deck. Cars are parked on grass in the foreground, with people wandering around, and more people in the background, in front of a large white building which stretches across the whole frame. Fluffy grey clouds with hints of blue peeking through fills the rest of the frame.

Continental Airlines Airbus A300-B4 Postcard
.
#Avgeek #Aviation #A300 #ContinentalAirlines #AirbusA300 #GoldenTail #AviationHistory #ClassicLivery #VintageAviation #JetAge #AviationHeritage #AirbusHistory #AircraftPhotography #TravelHistory #AviationCollectors #AviationPostcard

This vintage postcard showcases a Continental Airlines Airbus A300B4 soaring gracefully above a thick sea of clouds, with mountain peaks faintly visible in the distance. The aircraft is painted in Continental’s striking 1970s “Golden Tail” livery, featuring a bold yellow vertical stabilizer adorned with the airline’s iconic red globe logo. A vibrant orange and red cheatline runs the length of the fuselage, complementing the white upper body and metallic underside. The clean and modern Airbus design, with its twin underwing engines and widebody profile, reflects the early era of transcontinental and international jet travel. The aircraft registration “F-WZMU” identifies it as a manufacturer’s demonstrator used by Airbus for promotional purposes before Continental took delivery of its own fleet. This postcard likely dates from the late 1970s or early 1980s, when Continental was exploring the advantages of European-built widebody jets for its growing route network. The image captures both the technological optimism of the jet age and the distinctive branding flair that defined Continental Airlines during its colorful, transitional years.

#Japan #A300 #aviation #airplanes #avgeek #planes #postcards #postcard #travel #planespotting

The image features two aircraft, each with a white fuselage and blue tail fins that have the logo "JAS" written on them along with what appears to be Japanese characters beneath it. On the side of the aircraft is a colorful collection of various animals depicted in cartoon-like illustrations. These animals are spread across the plane's length and vary from one to another, each distinct in design, capturing a playful and creative aesthetic. The animals include birds, a fish, a whale, and several other species that are not easily identifiable due to their stylized nature. At the bottom of the image, there is text that says "JAS FRIENDLY BIRD," which seems to suggest that this could be a branding or promotional campaign for JAS (Japan Air System), emphasizing a friendly and approachable image through the use of animal imagery.

"The Airbus A300 was the first wide-body airliner produced by Airbus Industries, a European aerospace manufacturing consortium formed in 1970. The fuselage of the A300 was wide enough to seat eight across in economy, which was arranged in a two-four-two configuration with two aisles. The first-class cabin seated six across, also with two aisles, in a two-two-two arrangement. The A300 could carry as many as 266 passengers in this two-class configuration, which was a similar capacity to the McDonnell Douglas DC-10 and the Lockheed L1011 TriStar widebody airliners, but with two engines instead of three the A300 used approximately thirty percent less fuel. This amounted to a substantial reduction in operating costs for the airlines flying the aircraft, and was one of the major reasons for the aircraft’s success. The A300 established Airbus as a major European airliner manufacturer. Image: Singapore Airlines poster, Airbus A300, c. 1981.

Side view of a white, twin engined jet airliner taxiing from left to right. There are gold "Emirates" titles on the upper forward fuselage, in Arabic at the front, and in English a bit further back. The glyphs used in the Arabic title text are combined into an artistic image in gold on the white engine pods. The tail and rear fuselage has the flag of the United Arab Emirates (equal green, white, and black horizontal bars, with a red vertical bar at the end) emblazoned across it. The registration "A6-EKF" is on the lower rear fuselage in black. The foreground is filled with the grey roof of a building, out of focus as it is much nearer than the plane. In the background, a collection of brown service buildings and black hangars are nestled amongst trees, under bright but hazy skies.
