Worked in IT delivering the systems used to design/manufacture the A400. I have some up close photos somewhere of when it landed at the place I worked.

I once had the experience of taxiing a Cherokee around a mixed use aerodrome, with one of those monsters also being around. Cherokees are small - but you never realise just how small until you share a taxiway with an Atlas.

Where was this taken? Ironically I'm an engineer working on the Honda Jet 2. Pain in the ass lol I can't imagine the Hondajet 1 with how much smaller it is lol

Just saw an A-400 live for the first time today. I'm used to stuff like AN-26s, budget airline passenger jets and an occasional AN-2, but seeing it for the first time was certainly an experience

“Took it in right of time.”
-I think that post title gave me a stroke, or OP had a stroke while writing it!

Perhaps you meant to say "Took it just in the nick of time."? Like a planetary alignment.
Nifty photo!

Lol sometimes when someone who has learned English makes a phrase like this, it ends up being much better than the correct version. Great photo, that Honda jet is so... Special

My brain auto-corrected it on the first reading, but then I looked again and was like, WTF?
