Look at it in its full size, and then find UK.
Nice pic Martyn. I almost missed UK tho..it was only because I saw the big willy-shaped of Sweden & Norway that I found it, not that I'm normally on the look-out for willies

Just for the record, The Vapor is most noticeable in the right atmospheric conditions i.e high humidity. The pics show aircraft in transonic flight, approaching the speed of sound. The vapor is caused by a low pressure zone around the aircraft at which the temperature cools enough to form a visible "cloud"

Here's a vid to prove that, note the 2 'boom' noises obviously called the sonic boom.

Only sonic boom video I could find! but listen to the noise.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=annkM...elated&search=


Trust me it, it makes a row! Fucking height of concorde there!

Yeah your correct Watch a very detailed programme about them and was amazed. To be honest i would love to find some more information about them. Is the factory for the Kkranoplan in existance with one half built and just a caretaker keeping guard? Thats what i have heared.. Imagine taking a tour around there

Rhys..

As Far as I am aware, there are 2 ekranoplans in existance, one being here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.88...1667,47.656667

And the other: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=42.88...0556,47.665833

There is another which is thought to have been dismantled, but is sitting on a beach near to the second location. No pics or details though.

Quality.. 'plane' lol

Boeing have an ongoing project named the pelican which is thought to be along the same lines as the ekranoplan.

a few random ones

"this was a photo taken in 2002 by the American DoD, it shows the Korean Penisula at night with South Korea heavily lit whereas North Korea only has it's Capital, and namely the residences of kim Jong-Il, lit up due to it's strict policy on the use of electricity after 9 p.m."






interesting bit of light in this one


wonder what they are thinking?lol

They don't cheer Its called yanks shouting.

They are shouting obviously for a search and rescue op. Pilots both survived that too.. F-14's had a thing about exploding near mach 1 at sea level.
