They do have a stack of A330's

They definitely do. But an A330 isn't an A300.

And that looks like HKG to me which is operated with a 77W...

 

[clazman]

Flight radar has it as a 777

 

[ozbeachbabe]

My guess is that it is an A300, Aeroflot have quite a few of them as there is too much passenger resistance to flying in a Russian plane.

Aeroflot have never had A300's.

Looks more like 777 to me.

IL96's could be mistaken for A300's but it's only a short range aircraft.

The infamous kid in the coughpit crash was an A310.

Yes, but neither of those are an A300

Lots of apologies for my slip up in suggesting the Aeroflot plane was an A300. Of course I meant A330 and Aeroflot has many of these, however I agree it looks like a triple 7.

Here is a list of aircraft operated by Aeroflot, as you can see there are no IIyushin II-96 aircraft in the list and production of this aircraft as a passenger carrier has now ceased as sales could not be achieved. However Putin is pressuring Aeroflot to stop being silly and order Russian planes instead of supporting the likes of Boeing and Airbus.

I spotted this Aeroflop A330 at Seoul late last year.

And here's footage I took from a QF 738 taking off from Sydney while another 738 came in to land next to us.

Footage I took of VH-OJA landing in Wollongong a few weeks ago. The wind, heat and jet exhaust was quite an experience!

Flightradar24.com is showing EK435 turning back right now. Is it right or wrong ?
