Actually its the other way around , the (-200) are more plentiful than the wing fence equipped (-300) A310`s. Nice shot George!

This bad boy doesn't even have the wingtip fences...the rarest of them all!

Awww, the baby 'bus. Another little factoid is that Federal Express literally traded 5 ex-Flying Tiger 747-200F's to Lufthansa back in the early 90's in exchange for (13) A310's. From what I understand, it may have included the conversion to freighter mods and it helped each airline out.
