1983

Boeing 747-3B3
At Aéroport de Paris-Charles de Gaulle (CDG/LFPG). See discussion tab (1)
Anachronistic for 1983. With extended upper deck, it must be either a 747 Series 300 or Series 400. The footage indicates 747 Series 300, then let's call it 747-3B3, an ex UTA airplane acquired by Air France in 1992 after merge of the company in 1991. By SkyTeam logo behind the cockpit the photo must be post-2000.

Anachronistic for 1988. Air France Asie was launched in 1994, moreover only for Paris-Hong-Kong-Taipei or Paris-Hong-Kong-Osaka routes.
Though the footage indicates 747-300, it must be a Series 400.
