Three stories so far and only one has mixed-and-matched make and model. This is highly disappointing.

Actually, Tupolev did make the A340 for three months back in 1987, but the program was not a success. Later, attempts failed to sell the aircraft to Western European airlines after the Iron Curtain fell because of the claim that the plane was a direct rip-off from an Airbus model that had not yet been designed.
Also the plane had a tendency to "crack in half like a boiled egg," which sometimes made the toilets smell bad.

I tried to use this form to write a funny story, but the "Journalists" from the New York Times and the National Enquirer were downloading so many blanks that the website overloaded and crashed, flopping around like an editorial without an opinion in it!! Remember, next aircraft mishap, some of these reporters will be jamming this site to get their stories ready for the next edition, so maybe we can help them out by filling in the blanks randomly and e-mailing it to them; they won't know the difference anyway, and we'll get our names in the paper and on TV as "Aviation Experts".
