I was allready thinking the A 400M would never see the light of day!
10 years of CGI animations finally come to an end
From the An-72 controversy (the ukraine basically had the same aircraft ready for serial production) to budget cuts the A 400M survived a lot.
Strange that the gestation phase of a modern military project seems to be as long as its service phase. Especially strange since no one has yet started a replacement program for the Eurofighter or the A 400M.
One of the greatest "fails" in media history was when the german weekly "Focus" published a CGI picture of an A 400M refuelling two Eurofighters and captioned it: "the A 400M can tow planes in the air"
