A large German military transport aircraft conducted a training flight over Cork Airport on Monday.

The appearance of the Luftwaffe A400M Atlas, a large four-engine military turboprop in the skies over Leeside, caused quite a stir locally, and especially among aviation enthusiasts, as several plane spotters gathered around the airfield to catch a glimpse of it.
