• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

OT: Retired Monster

Amazing pictures, thanks for sharing!

That would be a nice addition for the Sea Shepherds fleet :) (just dreaming...)

Cheers,

Here is a nice History Channel documentary on the Sea Monster. Quite a facinating aircraft. I think one reason why the one in the photos has poorer skin condition compared to the birds at DM is that the Ekranoplane appears to be stored near the water, probably a bit more moist, possibly salty air around it which is quite a bit more unfriendly to aircraft skin than the high dry air at DM.
