    that's not A340-300, right?. that's A340-500 or 600.

    That's not a hairdryer CFM engine.

      I guess the picture that used to be in this post is not the plane PAL will get. The old picture did look like a -500 of -600

    Can they just swap or change aircraft with the same model? Is it in the FAA Cat 2 rule book?

    The plane that will be RP-C3435, is in fact, an A340-300. They're testing the plane by putting it in service in domestic and regional flights before deploying them to US flights in July.

    Just today, I saw the plane - grey/white scheme with no tail livery - climb out of RPMR/GES, operating as PR454 to Manila. It's been a week since delivery.
