Haven't seen a flying boat in a long while. PaulE

 

[Guest]

And you still haven’t — this isn’t a flying boat, it’s a ground-effect vehicle

 

[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.

 

[Neil Merryweather]

Oh, okay, I stand corrected :smiling3: I thought I recognised it as an ekranoplan.

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

 

[Dave Ward]

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...............

[spanner570]

.....let's call it an amphibious aircraft.

 

[Gern]

So the modern version of that yellow thing Steve's building then?

 

[spanner570]

Another polite reminder....
This thread is about spots on the imternet, new releases etc. nothing else.

Thanks.
