Airbus Atlas Makes for Impressive Sight as It Sweeps Through Welsh Valley

An Airbus A400M Atlas gave a thrill to one onlooker as it swept at low altitude through the picturesque valleys of the Machynlleth Loop, or Mach Loop, in Wales.“I could hear this strange whirring sound in the distance,” Tom Pipe, who recorded this footage, said. “It got louder and louder, then all of a sudden the huge airbus appeared hugging the distant terrain, then it turned in heading our way. [It] was a exciting moment. Then of course it flew right past us eye level! At high speed. Just fantastic to witness.”The video was recorded in April 2017, Pipe said. Credit: Tom Pipe via Storyful
