StoneRoad2013's photos with the keyword: Atlas

Atlas, aka the A400M first flew 2009. A joint project by European members of NATO. Intended to be between the C-130 and C-17 for both load carrying and airstrip access. Entered service with RAF in Nov 2014, as at 1st Dec 2020, there were 20 on the books and at least 2 more are on back order. I see (hear) them fairly often coming to practice low-flying tactics over nearby areas. Image is in the standard silhouette style used for training in aircraft recognition. Not my image : fair use & educational purposes
