hello1, a most interesting post....
The summer first flight target date for the A400M is indeed heavily dependent on Arfur Daley Aviation getting the C130 test bed flying and testing, so there's no reason to suspect that there will be any further delay just as long as the TP400 tests go OK.
Will the A400M fly before the 7-late-7? That'll be interesting to see.
As regards other military Airbus programmes, one of the air forces who already have their fine new tankers in service will be using one to deploy fast jet receivers next week across the USA. Doubtless whilst they are there, they will be able to congratulate the USAF for having had the good sense to choose the superior KC-X contender.......
