You are worse, I like all brands of aircraft, and I dislike both Boeing and Airbus bashers and I had a lot to say which you have ignored. I happen to know the two were americans from reading many letters on this forum. I would like to see constuctive critism about airbus plans not the old chestnut about subsidies which both Boeing and Airbus get in different ways.
I am very pro american, having lived in your country for over 3 years, but I get fed up with stupid comments from airbus bashers and the really stupid "if it's not boeing I'm not going" idiots. This is a site for aircraft enthusiasts, act like an enthusiast. I am a retired aircraft engineer who had nearly 50 years experience working on all types of aircraft, my favourite being the DC10 and L1011. With the exception of the BAe146 and BAC1-11 everything else I worked on was american and I enjoyed my work. I also would bash boing bashers as well because it is all so childish and meaningless.
A400 is superior to the C130 in lift and range and can land where a C17 cannot. As said above RAF has a number of C17 but the c130 is past it now and the RAF is replacing them with the A400
