KS update 1.4
In 1977, [[Eastern Air Lines]] [[lease]]d four A300s. [[Frank Borman]], who was the CEO of Eastern, was happy that the A300 used much less fuel than the planes the airline already had. He ordered 23 A300s. After this, [[Pan American World Airways|Pan Am]] also ordered some A300s. From then on, many A300s were sold, and 878 planes were given to airlines.<ref name="Airbus_Deliveries"/><ref name="planespotters">{{cite web|url=http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A300/index.php?p=6|title=Airbus A300 Production List|access-date=15 November 2012|publisher=planespotters.net|archive-date=11 June 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611081721/http://www.planespotters.net/Production_List/Airbus/A300/index.php?p=6|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The body of the A300 was made longer (on the [[Airbus A330|A330]] and [[Airbus A340|A340]]), shorter (on the A310), or was changed (for the A300-600ST ''Beluga'' Super Transporter).
