Great shots.  That looks like a pretty neat aircraft.  I watched a documenty on how these things work was very interesting.  If I remeber rightly it uses the 'Ground effect' to produce the lift required.

You are quite right on that one Gixer, ekranoplans use ground effect. There were some freeware ones released for FS2k2 a while back.
Strange things to fly, but a pleasant change.
