Well done Virgin Serbia it is an A380. The wheels on the A380 are slightly closer together than on the A340, also the A380s wheels are further forward in relation to the wing than on the A340. Well spotted Matias, you could see the inner wheel reflection (but what you saw wasn't a centre wheel but an inner/fuselage wheel reflection).

Goodnight.

Btw, it's a Chinese FTC-2000. Why is the image named 'Argentinejetfighter'? It is confusing!

Haha, do I detect cheating? Only joking, maybe Virgin Serbia put it in as a red herring.

Got ya. I had a feeling that people were trying to cheat this way, so I put in a litte distraction ;) :lol:

I suppose you win, but the correct term is JL-9 Mountain Eagle or JJ-7B. FTC-2000 was only used for marketing purposes for a short period several years ago.

About the aircraft:
The Guizhou JL-9 / JJ-7B / JJ-9 Mountain Eagle/Plateau Eagle emerged as the winner of the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force trainer competition. The aircraft is loosely based on the JJ-7, itself a copy of the MiG-21U Mongol. It retains the same engine, rear fuselage, tail and rear control surfaces of the MiG-21, but features entirely new double-delta wings and a "hard" nose section with a proper radar. It also features a glass cockpit and an Italian SELEX Grifo S7 radar. It can presumably carry BVR missiles.
The JL-9 has also begun entering service with the Peoples Liberation Army Navy Air Force, and a modified version featuring an all-new and much taller tail fin, stretched landing gear and a new and much more powerful turbofan will be used onboard the carrier PLAN Shi Lang. The carrierborne JL-9J will also feature divertless air intakes, allowing it to supercruise at mach 1.6. A prototype has even been spotted carrying conformal fuel tanks. Not bad for what essentially started as a MiG-21 back in 1954 8)

Nah, I think it could be an Ilyushin Il-18. Or a Tupolev 154 (as seen in 1:11 in the video)

EDIT: After watching the video numerous times, I came to the conclusion that the pictured aircraft is an Antonov An-10 :D I hope at least...
