The Air France plane was an almost brand new A330-300 - very moden and reliable which is why it was so strange.

I was wondering if they could have had the same airspeed detector probes (sorry, the actual name of them eludes me right now) since they are both Airbus? Or maybe not since the A310 is so much older.
Just that those probes still seem to be a big piece of the Air France investigation, so it would be pretty bad if another crash was related to the speed probe issues.
