Quick question, considering the extensive experience here on BT.
Has anyone flown one of the Ekranoplans, most likely the A-90?

And would you mind telling me a little bit about that?

As a kid, with a slight desire to become a pilot in the french navy, my parents had no chance but to buy me every Tanguy et Laverdure, as well as as Buck Danny comics.
Then I got this one:

Sukhoï!
Pugachev!
More Sukhoï! And the Kuznetsov ...

Then the A-90. What a machine!
Since then I've read about them and looked for them.

But if anyone has real life experience, please do share if you can, thanks!

Here is a chart showing the five hulls built. One hull was a static test article that was tested to destruction then scrapped. The last of the four operational units was decommissioned in 2006. Wikipedia has an article on them as well.
