Appearance of first operational A400M, for French Air Force, at Paris Air Show

Just over 10 years on from the signature of a combined development and production contract for the A400M, one of the programme's first pair of customer aircraft is making its public debut.
The appearance at Le Bourget of aircraft MSN8 has some similarities with that of the A400M development example that took part in the last Paris air show. It will make a brief flypast of the site, before touching down and taking its place on the static display line.
