I wish SAA would bring the A330 to the US - it would be nice to get this here - but - I guess I'll have to get it in SA when I'm there in December :)

That looks like an a340 to me.

That does indeed look like an A340 to me, however, it looks like the -300 variant. I think we only get the 600 here.

It's at -300. We do get the ocassional -300. Only a few years ago it was all -300's into Jfk

But we have not had one in months

Oppppssss...my mistake - I didn't see the corner of the engine on the left hand side - that's why I assumed it was the 330 - it has to be a 343 then because all of the 342's that SAA had have been returned - they only have -300's and -600's.

Maybe they will send it around the different destinations as well - the last sweetly colored SAA plane - Ndizane - made a tour of all the destinations if I remember right after it has been to Atlanta - so - Manny - you may get your wish :)
