CLIMB OUT

With its four turboprop engines giving their all the A400 Atlas leaves the runway and begins to climb. As part of its display the aircraft will continue to climb very steeply before levelling out. Right from brake release the ability of the aircraft is incredibly impressive to watch. As the Atlas comes onto squadron strength sadly time is running out for its predecessor the venerable Hercules.
