Since its very founding, Airbus has envisioned an aircraft family derived from their first product, the A300. Nine possible variants were conceptualized, of which, the A300B9, would eventually be developed into the A330 series.

Launched 8 years after its longer counterpart, the A330-200 was Airbus's response to a decline in the sales of the -300, customer demands, and the increased competition from Boeing. The aircraft offers lower operating costs than the rival Boeing 767 and was aimed at the 7,390 mi range sector. Its maiden flight took place on August 13, 1997, and soon after, the air lease company International Lease Finance Corporation (ILFC) took delivery of the first A330-200s, all of which were then leased to Canada 3000, who became the first operator.

In essence, this is a replica of the A330-200, but with a gamebreaking amount of Andrews on it. Last but not least, the main credit goes to @CinnamonCBF for creating the original, amazing replica!
