Is it a bird? An airplane? No, it is the...

Hotelicopter

I read about it in the newspaper -

It's a huge helicopter (bigger than a Boeing 737-400), built in Russia in 1968, and now transformed into the first ever flying hotel.
Quite amazing!

First flight soon!!! Go get tickets Wink

Anyone willing to make a FSX Model? Tongue

For more info see the company's site:

I think this is really cool,
Enjoy!

One question. WHY? Obviously, it can't stay in the air long enough to make it worthwhile.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

The Mi-12 (on which this joke is based) did fly but not good enough. Of the whole test fleet 2 survive: 1 at Monino and the other one at the Mil factory

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here
