When you think of air shows, the image of fast moving jet fighters performing aerobatic maneuvers come to mind. However this 170 thousand pound, four-engine turboprop plane adds an element of danger to the equation.
The Military plane taking off is an Airbus A400M (it is primarily used by European Air Forces such as Germany and France). The crazy A400M pilots/crew make their quick take-off as a huge A38 plane lands just behind them. As for the landing Airbus A380, it can seat up to 544 passengers and has a max take-off weight of 1,268,000lbs.
