AF leased planes
I was outside today and I looked up to see plane which I believe was A320 or A321 with the AF tail. Did AC lease new AF planes or are they just not painting one. BTW this isnt an arrival from CDG, I checked and today's arrival was a 343.

Thanks

Anyone have any idea about why I saw an AF 320 @ YYZ even though it was not the daily arrival.

Because it wasn't AF in the first place?

He must be 'seeing things'. Today's AF arrival & departure is an A330.

Listen up people, I know how to regognise aircraft much better than you think. I was just talking to my mother about how I do it. I have been spotting for years. It was AF for sure.

But I am 200% sure there were no AF 340 at YYZ today either.

Jeff - I think he needs a book on recognizing airline logos then.

A320 = dual-engine, 34m wingspan, 37m long
A330 = dual-engine, 60m wingspan, 64m long

Maybe the kid has cataracts?

Alright Empress, thats the answer I wanted. I was estimating a A320 or A321 because it only had 2 engines. Now I need to learn to distiguish between A320 and A330 and DC9/MD80 and CRJ. We get the Boeings Covered.

Hard to get A320 and A330 confused... long at the length difference YYZC2 posted.

And you just told us you know how to recognize aircraft much better than we think.

You want to think I am stupid, then think I am stupid. I was leaving to get into the car. I looked up to see a tail with the AF design and two engines. I saw a TS A330 from the side and it was for sure longer. But this AF I saw from below, flying into the distance.
