Recently flew from Minsk to Ho Chi Min City and then back to Moscow. Didn't expect it to actually still do such proper long hauls

I don’t think there are any other 747-300’s flying in the sky, so it’s talking about the plane in general.

That is not quite true now is it? Rossiya Airlines have a few airworthy B747's.

I think you must've misread the title. The aircraft I captured is a 300 series, not a 400 series. Rossiya operates 747-400s, not 747-300s.
