The A-400M is Approaching 1500 Flights!

At over 3 hours per flight, the hours are racking up for EADS' entry in the military transport arena.  It had a rocky start, with multiple political threats to its future, but seems to be settling in for the long haul (so to speak).  Reports are generally favorable.  As for me, I'm a fighter guy, but I have always thought that the scimitar props look really cool!
