Thanks for the tutorial. Now I will try to build one myself. 👍

Did you guys do this video just for me? A400Ms are my favourite plane, and I was lucky to have another fly past me the other day!

I was aware that the A400m was built in Southern Spain but until now was unaware of exactly where.

So, it's Seville.

This plane often flies over my house, even at flight level 30 the turboprops make an extremely loud noise. Easy to recognize the plane just by the sound it makes haha

Flew on this monster end of covid from England to AscensionIsland via Dakar and 6 months later return. Major turbulence from AscensionIsland to Dakar on return trip! However uncomfortable it was for me, I did feel that this plane could handle a tornado lol. Very very versatile and impressive technical package on this beast. 😊

I very much enjoyed your Thunderbird 2 analogy but I fear it went over Gerd’s head. 🤣

Quite fitting watching this having just had a chance to look at one up close at the Australian Air Show!

Saw one in person at an Airshow here in the US a few years again. Amazing aircraft.

The A400M is a great aircraft. Visited one on static display. It is very capable.

Brilliant aircraft, best transport the UK has ever had

Nice original reporting. There are many channels targeting AV geeks which have nothing like this. Kudos.

I saw a Belgian A400 take off from Dulles a few weeks ago. Made me feel proud to be a part of NATO. I just wish more Americans felt the same way.

Great video. Always thought the A400M was an impressive aircraft but after watching this very well presented video I am even more impressed. Thank You.

I was fortunate to marshal one of these a few weeks ago in Vegas. We regularly get military cargo aircraft visiting us such as the C17, C130 etc. but the size of the props on the A400M was impressive. Unfortunately they were at the wrong FBO so all I could do was standby as they taxied off my ramp.
