The A400 M “Atlas” is an airplane made by Airbus mainly for military transport. It is equipped with four powerful turboprop engines. A big improvement compared to the old beast AC130 “Hercules”, that was also a great engineering work. Some of its capabilities are the ability to transport vehicles, cargo, crew and even an small helicopter, with a very long range and in a more secure way.
The main float is located the 31 Wing, in Zaragoza. It is one of the newest airplanes in the Spanish Air Force, because the first units arrived by 2013 , and it is hoped to increase the number of A400 we currently have on service.
I have never seen one in person, but it is one of my favourite planes. I hope I can fly one of these. I prefer transport specialty rather than jet fighters, but only the best will be able to choose this destination.
