Rare visit! German Air Force Airbus A321Neo (A21N) action in Ottawa (YOW/CYOW)

My first time having the opportunity to see one of the world's only military Neo aircraft - I am still not quite use to that phrase just yet LOL!
The German Air Force is the world's only military that currently operates Airbus Neo aircraft in their fleet. The German Air Force operates 1 A321 and 2 A321neo's that are used for transport and medical evacuation.
This aircraft (15+10) was the first to be delivered and seats a total of 136 passengers. The Royal Air Force does technically have an A321neo however the aircraft is operated by Titan Airways...
This was a brief fuel stop that was transporting officials to Lockheed Martin plant in Fort Worth, Texas for the first Belgian Air Force F-35A reveal. This is the first visit of a military A321Neo to Ottawa; the aircraft has previously flown to other Canadian cities like Calgary, St. John's and Toronto.

Good looking aircraft

[@evanthehedgehog9825]

Engine: CFM International LEAP-1A
The CFM International LEAP-1A currently Powers the Airbus A319NEO, the A320NEO, and the A321NEO.
But, they can also be powered by Pratt & Whitney PurePower PW1100G which can also power the A320NEO family aircraft.
