The importance of this aircraft is presently rated as high - no offence intended, but I wonder whether this is actually a fair assessment - comparisons of types in the high rating can be seen by clicking on the catergory link at the bottom of this page. Winstonwolfe 04:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
Regarding the link to Dragon Models {http://www.dragonmodelsusa.com/dmlusa/prodsearch.asp?txtSearch=a300&btnSearch=Search&tbn=1/} , is it acceptable to link directly to a commercial site like this? The link goes to a search page with several results, many only marginally relevant. 70.27.59.200 03:36, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
This aircraft bears a disturbing resemblance to Beavis. Are they by any chance related? Nevilley 01:47 Feb 16, 2003 (UTC)
Nice article. The details of the cargo -- space station components, etc. -- are illuminating. It would be interesting to know what large artworks, exactly, are being referenced in the article.
Could use a paragraph about why this aircraft isn't used for ordinary cargo freight while it's not chartered for something special.
They don't "stand around" all 5 are in heavy rotation ferrying parts between the various Airbus Works in Europe. Other transports are squeezed into the normal scedule.
Also interesting would be a direct comparison with the Super Guppy on things like volume and maximum load. Tempshill 18:21, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
I'm making the photograph bigger, because it looks so ridiculously tiny. A pity that there is an obstruction near the nose, hiding most of the cockpit. Otherwise a good example of a unique colour scheme. --Jumbo 06:22, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
it says in the article "The starting point was a standard wide-body twin-engined Airbus A300:". Does it mean they started with an existing A300 and modified it or did they build the belugas from scratch just copying most of the design of the A300? Plugwash 16:40, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Secondhand A300s were bought secondhand and modified. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.69.106.196 (talk) 22:06, 31 December 2014 (UTC)
I would like to suggest that this be moved to A300-600ST. —Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 03:45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
I think we need an aircraft infobox - JJ

I have reviewed this article and do not quite see what piece of information is out-of-date ? Does someone on this discussion know ? It looks to me that this tag should be removed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.64.44.43 (talk) 14:40, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
The articlecontradict itself by saying that the diameter of the cargo bay is 7.7m but the height of the cargo bay door is 17m. The latter is clearly untrue, as the height of the whole plane is only 17.24m but the pictures make it clear that the cargo bay doors are much less tall than the whole plane.

The 5 300-600s have registration nos F-GSTA, F-GSTB, F-GSTC, F-GSTD and F-GSTF, does anyone know why there is no F-GSTE instead of the F?--PremKudvaTalk 05:12, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
You can use plane registration numbers to track their flights on various plane tracker websites which gives an indication of their regular flight patterns. Therefore it is interesting to have the registrations to refer to if you're interested in the planes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.171.11.229 (talk) 15:45, 29 April 2013 (UTC)
Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted. Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia. This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link. If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting. If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page. If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request its removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta. When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags. The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true. Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:

I think the lead needs to be heavily reworked - right now it mentions the entry to service date of its successor aircraft, but not even the entry to service date of itself! My attempt at this has been flushed out entirely without discussion (on the apparent basis that it covers material mentioned in the article aka what a lead is supposed to?), so I guess it's up to somebody else to try to reform it to decently cover its subject.
