First Spanish Air Force A400M makes its maiden flight

The aircraft, known as MSN44, took off from Seville, Spain where the A400M Final Assembly Line is located, on 5^th September 2016 and landed back on site after 3 hours and 45 minutes.

Test pilot Nacho Lombo, who captained the flight, said after landing: “As always, the aircraft was a pleasure to fly. I am confident that its unique combination of strategic and tactical capabilities will have a transformational effect on the Spanish Air Force’s air mobility operations as it has done in other countries already.”

The aircraft is scheduled to be delivered in the coming weeks.
