In this video the main subject is the French A330-243 of the French Air Force which visited Eindhoven for a few hours. The aircraft came from Hato Curacao and made a stop at Eindhoven to deliver some persons and cargo before it would leave to Paris Charles de Gaulle. The A330-243 is an improved passenger version of the type. The plane has a higher wheel bay for its nose wheel to level the aircraft better on the ground. The French Air Force has three of these planes in service and are all based at Charles de Gaulle. Be aware that this version of the A330 is not the same as the A330 MRTT which the AdlA also uses. There are plans to update the three A330-243 aircraft to the A330 MRTT standard. One of these planes is also the presidential aircraft for VIP transport of the French president Macron and its staff (not the plane in this video).
