Airbus A300-600F
Your answers
Field marks
- Short and fat for a widebody — noticeably stubbier and stockier than an A330, despite the two-aisle cabin cross-section
- Small delta-shaped wingtip fences, simpler and smaller than the A320 family's, and nothing like the A330's upturned winglet
- Rounded, smoothly blended cockpit windows in classic Airbus style, unlike the boxier notched windshield of a similarly sized freighter like the MD-11F
- Almost always seen in FedEx purple or UPS brown — a passenger-liveried A300 in the wild today is a rare sight

Variant notes
- Airbus's first widebody and the basis for the A310 and A320 family wing design — the small delta wingtip fence seen here is the ancestor of the A320's larger sharklet-era fence
- Almost entirely a freighter fleet today; FedEx is by far the largest operator, with UPS also flying a smaller number
- Production ended in 2007; the survivors are aging but remain a fixture at cargo hubs
