Default Airbus A 400
Kay, I have been following this birds development for quite some time. Plagued with problems mostly because every country involved has it's own needs and the bird was to be a egglaying wool milk pig. But seeing this...



.....dang! I want!

uhmmm I never got too impressed with the crazy stunts of military demonstrators, especially for cargo planes. Yes, it looks spectacular, but it's just a matter of loads of thrust and no payload. I doubt they'd be able to do that with 40 tons of payload in the back.

Having said this, the C-27 is faaar better

Indeed no news here, but unloaded or not, looks+flying maneuvers=instant fav.

And in regards to the C-27,well...uhm....I suppose it's nice. I heared the Afghan Air Force is going to get some ; )

Well u shd hear wht the pilot (or the FBW ?) is doing on the eng ctrls each time the nose might hve a tendency to slip offset such with some bank angle.

Frankly until now I won't envy the allied pilots that woud hve to land that bird at night in Kandahar with one eng shut off

Looks impressive..
In fact I'd not like to be sitting in the back of that bird while it was performing what I've just seen.. lol!
It was bad enough being in a C-130 when the pilot was flinging the thing around the welsh valleys under radar.

When I was in the Army the same happend with me in a CH53 .
The breakfast I have eaten was forced to leave my stomach again .
Our duty after landing was to occupy a bridge and the area around , but without me
