Beriev Be-200 ~ Russian Amphibian Aeroplane!
I've mentioned the Russian UAC's Beriev Be-200 a couple years before but it's such an fantastically interesting aircraft, I want to spotlight it again!

P.S. Here you see as of 8 August 2010, the Be-200 in-use fighting the fires ravaging Russia... P.P.S. And here as of 12 August 2010, you see Russian Prime Minister Putin flying a Be-200 waterbomber on a fire fighting run...
