Spots on the Internet 2020

[Dave Ward]

Nope, its a real aircraft - flying boat - service ceiling 26000 ft - obviously unpressurised. There are several in service, their main specialist task being fire fighting - being used in Portugal, Israel Greece - as well as Russia

There are some interesting YouTube vids on this..........

Oh, okay, I stand corrected I thought I recognised it as an ekranoplan.

I thought that as well , but I decided not to risk it.....:tongue-out3:

The pilots must be top-notch, filling their water tanks means skimming the waters surface at a pretty high speed! I wouldn't think that they could operate in much of a sea state - lakes probably being their best bets...............

Thanks.
