They'll be scrapping these as quick as the A320. Guarantee you when the first one is retired, there will be H Model -130s still flying. Kinda like the story of Northwest A320 pilots being flown back from the desert on DC-9s.

Re: A400m
Reminds me of a turbo prop version of a C-17
Perhaps our military forces are cutting back due to fuel prices  Steve Kicic |

Re: A400m
It looks like a mating between a C-130 and a C-17. Actually, I kind of like it, it's a funky looking aircraft, like the 747SP. Notice the counter-rotating props, inboard and outboard? I wonder why they have that feature. Anybody know the answer to that?
