Arie Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 For those of us that have been dying to see an A400M in operational colours, we've just gotten our wish! Looks like Airbus just rolled out the first Armee de l'Air bird in warpaint:http://www.airbusmilitary.com/LatestNews/tabid/176/ArticleID/240/ArtMID/681/First-production-Airbus-Military-A400M-in-French-Air-Force-colours.aspx The tail-flash is an interesting touch; maybe its too much to hope for that the Luftwaffe will take thier A400Ms in the same three-toned scheme as the C-160s?

Radleigh Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I can imagine ALL A400M's being grey! Sadly.... Can't wait to see them bashing Brize Norton though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigsty Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 Presumably this means the roundels will be full-colour too, which is always nice with French markings. It's reminiscent of the scheme applied to their KC-135FRs, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can just make out the roundel on top of the wing, just under the rudder. Looks full-colour to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
