Meet the custom A330 for MILITARY (mid-air refueling and more!)

Meet the MRTT, Airbus' multi role tanker transport aircraft that helps militaries move cargo, people and even perform mid-air refueling. We go deep inside the programme, visiting the Airbus facility in Getafe, Spain where A330s are converted into the MRTT, an exhaustive and lengthy process involving lots of customization. We see up close as two aircraft get turned into MRTTs complete with mid-air refueling boom installation – and then we go inside a finished aircraft bound for NATO. We get a look at the cabin and the very unique flight deck which includes a station for the refueling boom operator. And finally, we test out a simulator made for practicing the mid-air refueling operation. Oh and don't miss Chris and Gabe flying commercial from Toulouse to Madrid and arguing over who gets the window seat. Enjoy!
