Ok some of you know that i operate hovercrafts now so i think it would be only fair to show some pics of them. We have 3 hovercrafts in the squadron and I instruct Air Scouts to fly these. One being to old is now at the Hovercraft museum located in Lee-on-the-Solent in Hampshire. The other two are a Eagle class 2 man and a Vortex 5 man. Both are being serviced at the moment but should be getting the 2 man back soon with a new 4 stroke engine. My plan for you guys to to do some landing drills in the 5 man. This will take some serious training as this is not a toy and with a human size food bender at the rear need to be on the ball. enjoy the pics.     |

Yep they are a few years old but they are both getting new paint jobs, motor, controls prop, etc.
When they are done I will post an up-to-date photo for you all.

I guessed you were referencing this old YouTube post where the Russian navy stormed their usual beach, which many Russians used for sun-bathing despite it being military property... |
