So was the fuel rotten at the depot?
Did someone forget to do the MRO on the A400M's tanks as the need to be cleaned regularly?
Indeed, only the Armée de l'Air is in denial.
French A400M crews refuse to fly but this has been censored by the French boot-licking media making Pravda blush.
The A400M is a failed version of the AN70.
Winerhofer: arriving at your conclusion based on your intro about fuel contamination (do you have inside info nobody else has?) is an example of a flawed logic train. 'Bus bashing may be your hobby, but sometimes it is best to beat that drum in a more tasteful fashion.
That photo from Madbob: ouch.
Glad anyone got out of that alive, sad more didn't.
