Airbus Military A400M – And Then There Were Five

The Airbus Military A400M airlifter program has suffered a number of delays and setbacks over the life of the program, putting it years behind schedule, but things seem to be picking up steam. It isn’t out of the woods yet, there have been some engine troubles recently, but a fifth aircraft has joined the flight test program as it accelerates toward certification. And with the introduction of the fifth aircraft, Airbus too the opportunity to film some eye candy of all five flying in formation. That’s not something you see often.
