Wow. This via the BBC.
"The Americans are interested," he told BBC News. "They do not have an aircraft with the same capabilities."This guy is getting some of the "good stuff"...I mean it must be Columbia Pure.
Mr Gallois said he did not expect the US to order the plane immediately.
However, by the middle of the decade the US will need to replace their existing planes, he explained.
By then the A400M programme - which is several billion euros over budget and four years late - should be running smoothly.
"The programme is now on schedule," Mr Gallois said.
Or else he's just plain crazy.
Either way, I can't believe that anyone in his sales department is telling him that the A400 will be considered by the US military in the future.
Talk about capabilities and cost? For a few million dollars more you can buy a C-17 with almost double the lift and speed. I've never seen a company chairman grasping at straws...before now that is...and to be honest its not a pleasant sight.
How any reporter can credibly report this drivel is beyond me but it is fun watching this train wreck better known as Gallois.
