The nation of Brazil has made a masterpiece, and most of the world has never heard its name. On the 3rd of February 2015, a brand new military aircraft took to the sky for the very first time above the city of Sao Paulo. Its designation was the C-390.
Its name was the Millennium, and although the aircraft's designers and the leaders of Brazil didn't know it at the time, their new creation would turn out to be among the most transformative additions that the military aviation world had seen in decades.
The Millennium is highly capable, it's highly versatile, and if Brazil can play its cards right, it can change the way the entire world thinks about military airlift. A powerful platform.
