Well, you never cease to amaze me. Lots of you were correct in identifying the ‘plane’ on this picture: it is an Ekranoplan, a large Russian Ground effect vehicle, a.k.a the Caspian Sea Monster and located at the harbour of Kaspiysk, in the Russian Federal Republic of Dagestan

I recently saw a movie about these vehicles on Discovery Channel and was curious if I could locate one in Google Earth, which resulted in this contest.
