Thanks for the link Sean, very interesting read and some great pictures. Such a strange yet very unique vehicle, would be a great sight seeing that huge beast in action. Something to note, are the turbojet exhaust pipes which are angled slightly downards. :o 8-)

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

I wonder if that thing would even still float? But a beautiful design by the russians none the less
