Meet the custom A330 for MILITARY (mid-air refueling and more!)

[@Exciplex]

Aviattion engineer here: The PPE you just wore in TLS represents a significant advancement in occupational safety. Previously, the standard was white helmets, which were often considered ugly and bulky, leading to low compliance. These have now been replaced by much lighter, dark blue caps that are barely noticeable when worn. This change alone has reduced the number of head injuries at Airbus sites by over 80%! This means hundreds of workers can spend time with their families instead of a roommate in a hospital! (And yes, it's the same caps all across Airbus - in Europe and abroad)

[@StardustYT]

Still clean and well documented ! And I know you didn't miss anything ;)

[@steve11263]

Prefer the grey, its just a classic colour for military

[@peterberg12353]

white is suprerior they wont shoot down a civillian aircraft

[@bigceasar169]

The Spanish crew were stationed in BNE Australia for sometime when converting 3 x RAAF MRTT program a few years back. Great team.

[@NorwegianAir777]

Nice I Kind Of Prefer The Grey Livery it suits the A330 Well

[@Alex20741]

Oh my god so much better than the RAF's ZZ336.

[@SergioHidalgoAero]

Amazing Video as always guys!!!! Was amazing to meet you

[@PotatoGod6969]

oh so this is where the RAAF KC30 MRTT Mighty Dragons are made oh nice love them so much they are much nice then the KC46's

[@hungo7720]

What a well-documented unique video on a military aircraft.

[@stuartjgarland]

Another really informative video, well done

[@juanmontull8550]

It's funny that you went in an Iberia A320? aircraft to Madrid to see the conversion of a former Iberia A330 into a Spanish MRTT.

[@jamessmitka8066]

Incredibly versatile aircraft that has been truly updated with its automation! It satisfies many roles at once! If it is truly military, I believe it should be gray also. Thanks - Jim

[@DoRullings]

Cool! Love it! Keep 'em coming.

[@niklasgermann]

Every comment of Chris makes this whole VIdeo more enjoyable and funny (don’t get me wrong, it’s still very nice with Gabe by himself but really like the addition of Chris :)

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks that's good to hear!

[@RAPHmodels]

The FAF a330 has high chances to be repainted in grey because it was first used as a normal passager a330 for military transportation and they wanted to convert them all into mrtts

[@gazwild438]

I ❤ this channel

[@avgjoeavglife]

I like the French A330 MRTT, it kinda matches Airfrance.

[@elainefarrar]

Fascinating stuff, thank you!

[@petercraddy3809]

While travelling on the Air Train to fly from BNE last weekend, I spotted a white Armee de l'Air MRTT at one of the hard stands of the international terminal - probably taking a break before heading to New Caledonia.

[@McAero08]

That tray display is neat. Never seen before.

[@emercycrite]

How handsome are Gabe and Chris!

[@realmangman]

😂😂

[@Waschbör]

Nice video!

[@halina8369]

Perfekt video. 👍 Thank you. ✈️

[@martynbragg2286]

Such another cool video, I think I prefer the traditional grey military colour.

[@vinileyro]

Is it possible to buy one of these factory caps?

[@chrisw4578]

Was quite surprised to have two French Air Force (Armée de l'air) MRTTs parked opposite work at Brisbane airport (YBBN) a few weeks ago. I assume they were engaged in the recent troubles in New Caledonia.

[@os4908]

Thanks again

[@Tenaya15]

beautiful deeply the launch of the A330neo mrtt. with livery

[@jasonfrancis5570]

Lovely video my most favorite part about it is showing how the beluga could get fuel and loaded at same time but 1 request thou is that could you do a simular video with the boeing767/kc-76 Pegasus

[@Star-ty1nx]

The french A330 is a former french government aircraft and it will be painted in military grey livery after completion.

[@salto1994]

great video. very informative. Also interesting to see that they use AR glasses to work. i wonder if Boeing does that on the KC46

[@richardc020]

Happy new forays for flightradar24!

[@AlexandreDaSilva93]

The white for the French its quite special

[@NigelFortune]

I prefer the MRTT all the way.

[@sfoaviation]

I wish there was military version of the Airbus A380

[@markh767]

I like the grey aircraft

[@airbornecigar537]

The UK's A330 MRTT Voyager that was painted for Boris Johnson is, of course, known as the Tart's Handbag. I don't know if the designers of the French shiny one thought about that...

[@grachoderunwiderstehlichen]

bauen die spanier flugzeuge nur zur tankstelle um oder wegen "langanhaltende waldbrände" ➡️ zu löschflugzeuge ?

[@Eyes_On_Sky]

Awesome. I would like to visit. What is the procedure for approvals?

[@DumebiSamuel.-nx4ex]

The king of butter

[@Rafmeistr]

Love the videos, some of my favourite av videos on youtube, but the ads in this one was too much.

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Thanks. These videos cost a lot to make so ads are the reality to help cover some of those costs. If you get KZbin Premium they'll stop showing you ads though!

[@Rafmeistr]

@@Flightradar24DotCom i understand, and i want you guys to do well so ads are not a problem in that sense! Just stood out how frequently they started playing as compared to your other videos

[@teddy_123.]

NICE

[@ThatOneSpaniard]

I’ve been trying to be able to visit GETAFE for years, and I’ve never been allowed😢

[@JoeVellaGregory]

Grey. It's a military aircraft afterall

[@senor_n]

Trabajo fabricando ese avión en esos hangares. Hay zonas que no os han mostrado, como el taller de fabricación y reparación de piezas, ni las impresoras 3D que usamos. Ha sido un detalle feo haber difuminado a los empleados de Sintersa y Aernnova que aparecen en el vídeo. Los aviones franceses se pintarán del mismo color que el resto. Por lo demás, está bien el vídeo. 🙂

[@ronald_with_wings]

Gray

[@marcel-rudimantaj4773]

@Flightradar24 Nice content as usual!!!

[@JestonSun]

Is the Boom Operation station Inside of the cockpit?

[@Flightradar24DotCom]

Yes!

[@ThatOneSpaniard]

NOOOOO WAYYYY YOU GOT ACCCES TO GETAFE

[@S.Sheezy]

Military Gray

[@The_Devil_Riser]

Does anyone know why the RAF don’t have the boom fitted to their MRTT’s ? If it’s because they don’t own them then why lease them without the boom , do they not need the boom?

[@blegi1245]

As far as i know uk doesn't operate any aircraft that use a boom receptacle. F-35B has a probe for drogue refuelling and so does the Typhoon.

[@Lwi5]

Military grey

[@vicmacarra]

Jajajajja el puto Sergio 😂😂😂

[@MileHighFlyer]

A330, good for pax, freight and refuelling...

[@bbt305]

First _10 min is them talking smack 🥱

[@UagutsinnutH.Lyberth]

Hi im from greenland and my dream is to become a pilot and i wanted to ask how do you get acces to the cockpit? Ive got lucky once bc the flight attendant was my aunts bestfriend so can i buy like a ticket? Or smth?😊

[@TaylenIsInsane]

You can just ask the flight attendant when passing by the cockpit, or you can ask them during the flight if you can view the cockpit after you land, and the flight attendant will ask the captain, then they will make you stay until everyone has left and you're the only one and then they will take you to the cockpit. Although some airlines have a policy against letting passengers in the cockpit, it depends on what airline you're flying.

[@UagutsinnutH.Lyberth]

Thank you but i wanna stay in the cockpit for the fullflight like him

[@avgjoeavglife]

@@UagutsinnutH.Lyberth I don't think airlines just let anyone stay in the cockpit for a full flight, usually you have to work for them or be a guest.

[@UagutsinnutH.Lyberth]

@@avgjoeavglife nah air greenland does that i just dont know how to ask or buy a ticket or smth

[@avgjoeavglife]

@@UagutsinnutH.Lyberth Oh, well I don't know of any airline that will let a random passenger ride jump seat without a serious background check.

[@DUNIVERSAL0]

Did he just say it takes 100,000 hours to convert that’s 11 years.

[@charlies40556]

Yes he did lol. Must being building a plane to mars with that time.

[@blegi1245]

Man hours. There is more the one converting the aircraft...

[@charlies40556]

I’d rather have a Airbus over a Boeing as my aerial gas station

[@bazvlcak7516]

OK boomer

[@hideakioe]

Boris Johnson's only legacy was, repainting the Royal Air Force's MRTT in a super-ultra-cool Union flag style. (Past case: The Royal Family landed a "warship" colored airbus battle machine. This shocked the people of HND Tokyo.)

[@78bollox]

Absolutely 😊😅
