I don't know, that russian built tanker is pretty cool. Especially the ability to taxi on land right into water and retract the gear before takeoff.

I'm disappointed in the Altair's capacity...it doesn't look like it holds too much water. Though, nothing compares with this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXSwy...eature=related

Is there so automatic trim system that kicks in when you dump all that weight so you do shoot up? I would imagine a plane like that has to be designed so the CG doesn't shift too much on a dump, i guess the same as a bomber plane.

| That's what I was thinking. They look fairly maneuverable too!
