I'll take a B-26 please.

Beautiful airplane. They also saw early service in New Guinea before being replaced by B-25s.

That big russian flying fortress looks cool but like it barely has enough power with those 50 engines to get off the ground so when it does taking out 1 engine looks like it would down it haha. Still its cool, is it suposed to be a WWII wannbe Russian attempt at a Mechwarrior era Dropship?

With reference to the last video in Xilon's post, it's not an aircraft, it's an "Ekranoplan". Designed for the Soviet navy in the 1960's it was an attempt to develop a fast troop/assault transport. It "flew" in ground effect and never climbed much above 20 feet.

yes sorry robday and all memebers the Russian EKRANOPLAN belongs at the time of the 60's years not WW2.
But SUPER JANT RUSSIAN BOMBARDIER is really to periond and time ww2.

You can buy Ekranoplanes for private use in 2010. The Aussies make a smaller coastal one and the Russians sell several different types:

While the design is a bit quirky, I can think of a fair number of uses for a vehicle that can travel at this kind of speed over water and then remain on water when it arrives at it's destination - plus it runs on diesel or standard gasoline. Maybe you don't live in a coastal area?
