NATO’s Multinational Multi-Role Tanker Transport Fleet (MMF) has accepted the first of its eight Airbus A330 MRTTs in a June 29 ceremony held at the Airbus Defence and Space Getafe facility near Madrid, where the MRTT conversion from “green” A330 airliners is accomplished. On the following day the aircraft was delivered to its operational base at Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
