The first Airbus aircraft, the A300B, embarked on its maiden flight in Toulouse 50 years ago. The aircraft (F-WUAB) was also the world’s first twin-engined widebody commercial aircraft, and on this historic anniversary Airbus looks back with pride at the aircraft and programme that were at the beginning of the Airbus story.
Happy 50th, A300!
