Last january I saw the first Turkish A400, and that was marked A4M009 indeed, with already code 009 on the nose. This one became 13-0009, so it's not too difficult to guess the serial of "your" A400

This visit was a surprise for me as well. It was arranged by a family member working for another company and who had contacts at Airbus. All I can do is ask if it is possible for "outsiders" to visit the factory and if so, how to arrange it.
