  • 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!

    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.

      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 don’t know how, but apparently millions were spent so that the An-70 would not go into production, and instead of it the unfinished A-400 came out ...

    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.
