Corrected entry: The aircraft interior is of a MD-11. (The emergency exits are the plug-type MD-11 doors) The digital cockpit is of an MD-11, not an Airbus A300 series which Chuck boards before the crash.

Corrected entry: The interior of the plane which is deliberately crashed by the terrorists is of a BAC 1/11. I do not know any airline in the world which would choose to send a BAC 1/11 over the Atlantic from Europe due to it only being able to carry a limited number of passengers and short range capabilities.
Correction: It would be helpful to know what about the interior gives this plane away as a 1/11, as the exterior is a DC-8. Many early jets have similar or identical seating layouts and cabin appointments. I have not seen anything that obviously distinguishes this plane as a 1/11.

Mission: Impossible 3 (2006)
Corrected entry: On the plane ride from Europe to America, some compartment is opened at the back of the plane and a man is dangled below the plane into the open sky. This is impossible because you would trigger an explosive decompression by opening a hatch/door inflight which would most likely suck everyone out onboard or cause serious injuries at the very least.
Correction: But that only depends on the altitute of the airplane. That particular type of airplane is designed for that to happen, and if they're low enough, decompression won't be an issue.

Correction: He is seen walking towards the security gate of the airport with an A300 parked in the background. He had to enter the airport through that ramp and just an A300 happens to be parked in the background. We never even see him walking past the gate so there is never even a hint that he boards that A300.
