AIRBUS A400M ATLAS FLIGHTS POSTED - AS37 Norm Edwards - 09-04-2013
Recently the newly produced Airbus A400M Atlas was delivered to the French Air Force. This is a four-engine heavy turboprop aircraft that has been long anticipated. It's capabilities compare with the long-serving C130 Hercules and has STOL capability in addition to dirt-strip landing ability. This aircraft is new in the flight simulator world and there is a freeware model available to download at the usual main download sites as well as payware models available out there.
Two flights have been posted into the Bid Division (Delivery/Ferry Flights category). One is a delivery flight from Spain to France. The other is a trip to RAF Fairford for the 2013 RIAT airshow - there you can throw it around and put it through its paces. Enjoy!
