First Production Atlas Handed Over

摘要

Airbus Military has marked the delivery of the first production A400M Atlas at the final assembly line at Seville. The initial aircraft (0007/F-RBAA, msn 007) was actually handed over to the Armee de I'air (French Air Force) on August 1 (see Atlas Delivered to French Air Force, September, p13). Standing in during the ceremony on September 30 in Spain was the third prototype A400M (F-WWMS, msn 003), which acted as a backdrop to the ceremony.
