THE COURTSHIP RITUAL OF THR BLACK GROUSE: DANCE OF THE SPRING FOREST
Black grouse current. Not just mating games, but a sacred ritual inherited from the depths of time. The forest thicket. Lawn. The first rays of the sun.

The BE-200 Altair - an Amphibious Airplane
At the 2012 International Exhibition and Scientific Conference on Hydroaviation (also known as simply Hydroaviasalon) in Gelanzhik, the Russian Beriev Be-200 seaplane made quite an impression.

The Be-200 fire-fighting aircraft is capable of collecting 12 tonnes of water on board in only 15 seconds.
