Showing off this behemoth Airbus A400M at an airshow in the UK, one pilot was nearly left red-faced as the airplane began to topple over in front of hundreds of spectators.
Airbus is renowned for making some of the biggest aircraft in the world.
While the Airbus A400M isn’t quite the size of the gargantuan commercial A380, this military-grade transport aircraft is one of the most daunting beasts in the fleet, and you can bet your bottom dollar it’s tough to handle.
So much so that, in the video above, even experienced pilots demonstrating its size at a RAF Fairford show in the UK nearly lost control, as one nearly hit the brakes too hard.
