I'm busy watching a fantastic documentary on the Ekranoplan right now, any other fans of this remarkable vehicle type?

I'd have liked to see the "Caspian Sea Monster" in real life but I can't quite get my head around aircraft that think they are boats that can't quite fly! Or is that boats that think they are aircraft?
