Silent Giants: A300s in Brasil

[YesterAirlines]

A recent acquisition from Northeast Diecast is A300B2K-203 PP-SNN wearing VASP's last scheme, worn from 2001 until the airline's demise in January 2005. She's also still wearing the logo celebrating Brasil's 500th anniversary from 2000. Delivered in December 1982 this aircraft spent her entire career with VASP aside from a 1 year lease to LAB in 1990.




I've now got A300s featuring all 5 schemes worn by the A300 in Brasil. To celebrate I have spruced up my post originally from 2017, which details the service history of the type with Cruzeiro, VARIG and VASP.

The A300 was an excellent product and yet Airbus struggled to sell the type at first. Eventually it gave them their break however and also made a significant inroad into the Brasilian market, albeit one that was relatively short-lived.

Beauties! I own four of these five (except your latest VASP "Pizza" which I don't have), although 3 are customs and 1 is an Aeroclassics original (VASP 1982 scheme). I wonder why AC didn't put the overwing registration on the Cruzeiro A300??!!
