(4K) (Ultra Rare) Royal Air Force Military AIRBUS A400M Preparation & Departure at Vancouver YVR

The Royal Air Force (RAF) recently brought one of their Airbus A400M Atlas to Vancouver YVR for what I believe is crew training. It is an absolute joy to see this aircraft in Vancouver as they are very uncommon and it is also one of my favourite military cargo aircraft! Hope you enjoy this unique episode of a unique aircraft. Cheers!

These guys are regulars at Prestwick on training sorties from RAF Brize Norton, what an awesome machine never tire of watching them do their thing. Cracking footage as always

[@Chuck59ish]

Canada almost bought them, we need transport aircraft for Afghanistan and looked at the A400M Atlas, but it was a couple of years behind schedule and gained weight as it went cutting back on the carego capacity, so the RCAF bought the C-17 instead. That's how we got the CC-117 GlobeMaster III. Canada didn't invest any money in the A400M, so we didn't lose anything. The French Air Force has them too, but made an arrangement to use our CC-117 to airlift supplies to the mission in Mali.

[@t.p.mckenna]

Just wonderful quality filming and loving that 4K. There was something utterly domestic about the prepping. Great video!!!

[@eyetrapper]

Many thanks!

[@EliteRock]

That's some impressive acceleration up to rotation - those props grab the air like no turbofan ever could.

[@eyetrapper]

Indeed!

[@dave1455]

I watched this from a hilltop at RIAT a few years back and it did this insane dive straight toward us ,I actually feared for my life as it came at us, then in an instant it pulled out the dive like a child twisting a toy plane .Good god this A400M is amazing .I see it most days now heading out of Brize Norton and you just can't mistake the noise it makes . .

[@XJarhead360]

My first three plane rides were in a C-130. The first one was from MCB Camp Pendleton to MCB 29 Palms. It was a short ride but I loved it. The entire time I was glued to the porthole because it was a big thrill for this 19 YO Marine. My 2nd plane ride was in a 130 again from Okinawa to Wake Island to MCAS in Oahu, with the final leg to El Toro. Finally, I rode from Chu Lai in 'Nam to MCB in Japan (I can't remember the name). From there I rode in a C-141 to El Toro. Since I was going on emergency leave all seats were booked. I straddled my sea bag the 15 hours it took to get home.

With almost the same characteristics, the An-70 takes 10 tons more than the A-400 - 47 tons instead of 37 tons for the A-400, and all thanks to the latest coaxial screws of the D-27 propfan engine even today.

I love this plane! The shape, the propellers, its tactical abilities. So gorgeous! But would have loved the name Grizzly more than Atlas!

[@samcourt-barnes1583]

The raf did use grizzly as a callsign alot for this aircraft a few months ago now it operates as ASCOT most of the time

[@wudruffwildcard252]

@@samcourt-barnes1583 Shame, the A400M is so bulky thick but also round and cute that Grizzly would fit perfectly. And in Germany animal names have tradition but sadly this time NATO names overruled Grizzly somehow!? 😢

These A400 can land on any dirt strip runaway as there is no danger of anything being sucked into the engine unlike conventional jet engines transporters.

@@thomasschafer7268 Yeah but what you do once with a C17 what you can do on a daily basis with the A400M, the C17 turbines go to a month long maintenance cycle. And it really takes a month to do 4 engines of a C17. 😬
