Luftwaffe German Air Force Air Transport Wing 62 located at Wunstorf AFB (central Germany) is the first German unit to receive the brand new huge cargo aircraft Airbus A400M Atlas. Commander Rico and his crew invite you to join an exciting air-to-air refueling mission aboard his shiny new heavy transport. As a very special feature the airclips team also managed not only to bring more than 20 cameras aboard the Airbus, but also fitted a handfull of cams to the Panavia Tornado fighter jet flight deck of the aircraft being refueld. The fuel receiving Tornados originated from Büchel AFB located in the southwest of Germany. Enjoy a breathtaking experience to watch!

1000 times better than Netflix
I was a US Marine for 20 Years and have taken the C-130 to every corner of the world. This beautiful bird reminds me so much of the C-130. Nice Video.
Me too. Only the props are curved inward and have 6 blades. CI30 THEY'RE FLAT AND HAVE 4 BLADES ON EACH PROPELLER.
"Coffee is good to go for the mission?" "Coffe's good." "There we go." :D Thank you guys for taking us along the ride. Professional is expected but with a smile on top makes it's that little extra that makes it so fun and rewarding to watch. The filming and editing is top notch. Gotta love Luftwaffe, the A400M and AirClips. Kudos, job well done.
One of the very best videos on KZhead. That is the most calm and in control person ever. But not arrogant.. He came up with a very memorable quote thats so spot on... "We are German, we are always on time" 😁
Apart from observing a perfect technical phase in flight and refueling, the perfect CRM ( Cockpit Resources Management ) carried out by the pilot in command can be observed. Always encouraging the co-pilot and above all, asking for things with a "please"....excellent flight.
I'm glad to be alive during this period to be able to see all this Luftwaffe stuff up close and personal. Grew up reading comic books about WW2.
Excellent video! Enjoyed joining the air crew from beginning to end of the AR mission. Love the inclusion of footage from the thirsty Tornados' perspective. Thanks for the great video and thanks to the German Luftwaffe for bringing us on board!
“Germans are always on time “ even here in Hawai’i, you guy’s are cracking me up :-))
I used to sit back in my boat and watch taking off from any military base there always on time, especially in the United States I live by MacDill Air Force Base Central Command and the where are refuelers landing and taking off and how big they are and I think they're C35 Hercules And those are jet engines not prop jobs but we see a lot of C-130 props coming and going beautiful aircraft and big it just wonder how they fly.
🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪！geermany. ．！ great！ ，．。We are japanese．🇯🇵🇯🇵 ひさしぶりです! バイエルンを見ました! SAMURAI good luck！ best friends，good luck！
This is the best aircraft video I have ever seen
Perfect is an understatement. An A400M tanker full of thanks and compliments for their professionalism!
1:14:10 "timing looks good by 8 seconds - so I think that's acceptable" 8 seconds off schedule is not good as far as he is concerned, merely "acceptable". This video is so German, that if you watch till the end, your computer will become so efficient that your energy provider will owe YOU money.
Pretty neat! The nearly automatic operation of the refueling process is impressive! Thanks very much to AirClips, the flight crew and of course the Luftwaffe for allowing us to join you.
How astonishingly good is this. The A400 is a thing of magnificence.
Military always gets the best toys. Very professional. Super cool.
sehr gut, sehr gut. ich bin auch Pilot; aber nicht mit so schicken Flugzeugen. Tolle Flugstationsarbeit. Mach weiter. Ihr Englisch ist noch besser als meins, und ich bin ein englischer Muttersprachler aus Jamaika. Nice work. I wish my German was as good as you spoke English.
An excellent production. Thanks for having us aboard. Cheers from Chattanooga, TN! ✈️
Watching this while flying regional flights in Australia on MSFS = A relaxing Sunday afternoon
I liked how do the propeller blades synchronize with the video and look as like they are barely just turning.
"Do not get scared auto is coming off". Funny as .... Fab video, beautiful edited with a great landing. Who can ask for more. Thanks boys -
That propeller reminds of the Hamilton Sundstand NP2000. Those were the good old days 😂😂😂😂😂
WOW , AWESOME MOVIE , THIS IS THE REAL DEAL , GREAT CREW , WAY BETTER THEN ANYTHING I EVER SEEN , THANKS GUYS FOR THE RIDE AND EXPERIENCE OF YOUR FLIGHT CREW !!! 🇩🇪🇺🇸
Best inflght refueling video I've ever seen..
Danke nochmal für die Möglichkeit einen kleinen Beitrag für dieses tolle Video beisteuern zu dürfen. Weiter hin viel Spaß und Erfolg. Gruß Markus
AirClips! This is absolutely a 'top shelf' production! I have only recently found your channel and I am hooked. The efforts that your team puts into capturing top-quality camera angles, clearly and with precision, I find, far exceed the majority of other channels that I have ever seen. The cooperation and display of professionalism from the crews that you highlight, make these videos both educational and entertaining! I admire the A400M, what a machine, and you have brought me along for an unforgettable flight, from the comfort of my man-cave! Thanks for investing your time, energy, resources, and expertise and sharing the result with me! God bless you and your team and the flight crews who share their passions, for my informative enjoyment! That 2h12min just flew by! . OUTSTANDING . . I am not a pilot nor in the army. I understood everything. the English is outstanding and clear and precise. I have just seen your youtube channel, you have my vote. congratulation
Thank you so much Darsab, glad to have you on board!! Cheers, Patrick
@@AirClipscom Hey Patrick, were those heavy steel bins added to set the center of gravity? Cheers
Thank you, Air-Clips, for giving us a front row seat to the entire operation. It's astounding the resources (time, treasure, human capital) humanity spends on war, simply because we can't trust each other.
The little Austrian painter would be proud of these boys
Remarkable and excellent work! Wonderful to see this aircraft up close and it’s fine crew who so helpfully translated for us from the German.
Thank you Air Clips for the video. Many thanks to Luftwaffe for permitting you to film and share this footage of some of their operations with us.
i like the comment of the capt "8 second to late that is acceptable" deutche grudlikeid.
C-17 load. Impressed of this plane. You guys got it made.
I remember vividly my experience in the early 80's sitting next to the boom operator in a KC-135 Stratotanker whilst we refuelled a B-52 Bomber. Great video!
Thanks for uploading this great looking aircraft.
This is awesome. Really cool to see how these pros do their jobs. Excellent camerea shots also.
Very well presented Patrick.
Damn this is the best aviation video I have EVER seen on KZhead. Been on here since 2003. Damn good job.
You mean 2006?
You must be higher than these aircraft! KZhead didn't exist in 2003 🤣
Fabulous no one could ever make it look that great, love Airbus 400M
a VR of 135 for such a heavy plane is really impressive :-O thx for this awesome video!
I would watch this any day over Netflix
Greetings from UK - love it. Beautiful landing. Interesting to see the turbulence that the Tornados had to deal with in the cloudy weather. Thank you
You need to live where I'm at we have MacDill Air Force Base was c-130s and c35 Hercules refuelers landing and taking off all the time, you can actually feel them as they go over you I would sit in the bay right in the path of the runway and believe me you can count the rivets on them now since 9/11 stop that from us watching them.
Civil aviation, army aviation... what's next? Firefighting planes? Great work. thank you!
what an experience, enjoyed thoroughly. appreciate the efforts from air clips
Great view of the cockpit and the operations from different angles. So interesting! Such meticulous planning, navigation, communication and flying is involved in these refuelling operations, it is impressive! The calm attitude of the crew is exemplary.
As a former aircraft tech, (USAF - long ago), I find it quite interesting to hear the pre-flight briefing, not only delivered in English, but altitude, airspeed and distances being mentioned in feet, knots and miles. But, I do understand that this is for the benefit of the viewers. Those living in countries that have bought into the metric system and have trouble with fractional dimensions are loath to anything expressed in inches, feet or Fahrenheit, etc. The USA is having a difficult time making the transition and I doubt that, in my lifetime, it will eventually give in to the metric system altogether. Just like the old analog instruments, where tapping on the gauges was customary in order to 'improve' the reading. To tell the truth, I don't like (detest really!) the look of digital instruments but, again, I am a product of another time in aviation.
As far as I know, aviation in Germany always uses feet, knots and nautical miles.
Me also but may be able to adapt & adjust.
Germans are always on time. Ansage! 😄 Geiles Video!
How does the coffee operations work? The pilot removes fresh coffee.
One of the best things I saw in KZhead, Loved it. Danke, AirClips and Luftwaffe!
What a great film, i thoroughly enjoyed it. Many thanks Patrick
Before takeoff checklists includes this item: Check Tom Cruise not hanging on rear passenger door...check
Sensational, Excellent flight, I fully enjoyed the professionalism of the crew, job well planned out and well implemented. Thank you AirClip.
Love the A400M. 😍👍🏻
Great video really enjoyable. Also Quite moving to see how accomodating the crew were to converse in English. Also remember when handling German (and European Aircraft) in RAF that they all spoke Excellent English (pity we didn't get this option in UK). Thanks again.
Cockpit conversation concerning the flight is always in english, they just also used english to get their coffee this time.
G'day and greetings from Tasmania Australia 🇦🇺 absolutely fantastic technology and the filming and editing are outstanding, it puts the viewer right in the cockpits of the refuelling of the Tornadoes. Great stuff and congratulations on a truly spectacular insight into the refuelling operations with terrific camera angles well done and I really enjoyed it. Kind regards John
Air Clips, thanks a most wonderful video clip,, CHERIO🇩🇪🇩🇪🇺🇸🇺🇸
Absolutely absorbing and enjoyable film - very well done to the flight crews and video production team!
I love this flying machine so thanks for the in-depth look at its operation and crew. Never fails to amaze me how many checks are required to get any aircraft off the ground.
And this video doesn't even include the maintenance before and after...
Absolutely incredibly well put together, the editing is on another level, love the channel, this video is one of the best ones for me. Incredible job well done
Ty for flight,very cool a peak into airforce life
Awesome video. Real professional.
Amazing program. At 17:44, the team esprit is obvious; these aviators know each other well. I think the tech specialist was a bit nervous with the camera, made the PIC smile. 46:58, "coffee is good to go for the mission... black." And I bet the coffee is delicious, given that Germans generally love good coffee. As I do. These aviators are tops. So super...
Very professional crew! One of my favorite planes. Enjoyed the whole video. Thank You all involved.
Impressive. Their English is better than that of a lot of Canadians. Seriously.
This is the best video of KZhead!!!
What a gorgeous machine! I love the walkaround part so much!
From one Patrick to another Patrick, great video, sir. I love videos like this. It's great that this briefing is in English. I really appreciate it. It is not surprising that the flight itself is in English given that English is the language used in aviation. I try to recreate flights I see on KZhead wherever possible in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020.
And almost without german accent.
Those big prop engines seem to really run clean.
Awesome, thanks for inviting me.
Thanks for this great video. What a crew and what an airplane.
One of the best English accents I have heard
Loved being able to tag along for the flight, amazing video
That's a great insight into tanker operations!1 True Professionals! Great crew!!!! Awesome video!!!! thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What an awesome video. Probably the best and most interesting cockpit video I have seen. The range of different views both inside and outside the aircraft was outstanding. Well done.
Thank you very much it was a lot of work but to see that my viewers like it make it worth :)
Fantastic flight nice to see how fuel is done in flight more please your team work well together well done guys looking forward to more flights.
25:57 may sound like a stupid comment but man I love the way the propellants look on this aircraft, they look SO advanced , futuristic and mean if that makes sense!? I love it!!!! Awesome awesome video ! New sub here!
Beautiful aircraft, excellent crew, excellent refueling op. Love the A400M! I'm retired USAF medical CMSgt, 35 years. Have flown on the Super Constellation (C-121), the Starflifter (C-141), the Herc (older version) and the C-9 Nightingale Med Evac. Question: were those heavy steel bins added to set the center of gravity? Cheers to the German AF crews! Bob from Syracuse, NY
thank you for your service 👍⚔🍀 🇺🇸🤝🇩🇪

The steel bins were probably only there to get two Loadmasters on board, at least there is afaik no procedure stating any need for them. They are used usually for storage of loose items during the flight. So most likely they were empty when loading and added just for training purposes.
Beautiful aircraft, and the power is over the top!
It's ridicously quiet inside the cabin for a 4 engine turboprop
Dam those engines are huge
Outstanding video! Very interesting and informative as well!
Nice one Pa✈rick‼ That's a good job right there.🛫🛫🔆
Momma bird and her beautiful babies!
Congratz on that video, that must've been a hell to get all the clearances and checks to get into 2 airbases and the approval of filming there.
No doubt it is a lot of work but it is worth it
Amazing video!!!! greate job!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!! Best Regards from MMMX
That's fantastic!! Could not believe that such videos are on KZhead!!
Fantastic video! Great job.
great vid, thank you, lot's of substentional insights. Go on like this, it is so vital for our defence!!!!
Really amazing great job and high standard crew.... Blessing.
Excellent video, very enjoyable! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Awesome military unit with very professional behavior during training which is nice to see. Former Marine infantry man and I would fight like a devil dog along side these gentleman any day. Very awesome skilled pilots and crew.
As an international pilot years ago the German controllers were easer to understand than the English in some cases. Excellent CRM here between pilots.
Just subscribed. Thank you to all the Luftwaffe crews for a brilliant video. Mike in Dorset U.K. 👍
The Lieutenant Colonel's English is so good, I could've mistaken him for an American. Overall, great video! One question for anyone familiar with the German Airforce, do they always communicate in English even within Germany?
That is my question exactly! Anyone know? I could hazard a guess that for a big slow plane not flying in a restricted area sticking to English, the international flight language, would be a safety issue. Should there ever be need to begin communicating with ground control, especially in an emergency situation, NOT changing languages would be a huge bonus regarding consistency whereby eliminating language mistakes-misunderstandings, under pressure.
@@MrSchwabentier thanks 😊
@@hair2050 Aviation language is always English, while it's allowed to speak local language in VFR ops, you have to stick to English for IFR. So basically as soon as you want to fly above 5000ft or to another country you'll have to switch to English. This restricts local language to mostly low-level VFR traffic and as soon as you are fast, high or commercial you'll have to speak English anyway, so why bother learning all the procedures twice for English and German when you can just operate in English ICAO-wide in civil and NATO-wide in military? I'm a trainee pilot in the Luftwaffe and English skills requirements date back to when I applied, they explicitly asked for good spoken English and parts of the interview were English while 100% of the pilot testing was in English. Yes I like to make long sentences and yes I'm sorry. Greetings o7
Nein. I think its for the video. I already heard them speaking German.
@@skytheproofficial Danke.
i am an a t p retired pilot this video is super great tnx guys .
Great Video. Cool Luftwaffe Team, relaxed but very professionell.
Absolutely Amazing, thanks a lot for an excellent video
