French tanker! Armee de l'air Airbus A330-200 MRTT action in Montreal (YUL/CYUL)

Описание: 2nd ever A330 MRTT in Montreal, I have seen 3 A330 MRTT's airline (U.K, France and S. Korea). This was a very rare visit.

The French Air Force has a fleet of 14 Airbus A330-200's; 11 of which are MRTT's. MRTT stands for Multi-role Tanker Transport, these aircraft have a boom at the back of the aircraft that are used for aerial refuelling.
These aircraft are also used to transport equipment and soldiers around the world. These A330's were bought to replace the French Air Force's aging A340, A310 and KC-135 fleet.

This specific flight was bringing personnel from Istres Le Tube Air Force Base in France to Guam via Montreal, Vancouver and Honolulu.
This is the 2nd visit ever of the French Air Force A330 MRTT to Montreal Trudeau, the first time it visited was in 2019.
