That's an Airbus A400M of the French Air Force. They often fly over our house. On this day they were training refuelling. After some bigger rounds, the pilot of this aircraft must have seen us standing there on a pasture and looking up with our huge Sigma lenses. So he flew an extra sharp curve over us. The aircraft was getting bigger and bigger in my lens until it was too big. And I was muttering: "it's too big, it's too big". Great fun. :)
The aircraft in the image is an Airbus BelugaXL.
It is a specialized cargo plane designed to carry oversized components, primarily large parts of other aircraft, such as wings and fuselage sections, between Airbus production sites across Europe.
The aircraft's distinctive bulbous shape, which resembles a beluga whale, gives it its popular nickname and unique profile.
It operates with a unique upward-opening nose door to facilitate the loading and unloading of massive cargo.
