Aviation\/Aviators in the news<\/strong>: Every once in a while an aircraft design comes along that just looks perfect. This is true with the Aero L-39<\/a>. Designed in the 1960s and is still in use today by some countries. Aero L-39 Albatros is a high-performance jet trainer developed in Czechoslovakia by Aero Vodochody. It was designed during the 1960s as a replacement for the Aero L-29 Delf\u00edn as a principal training aircraft. It was the first trainer aircraft to be equipped with a turbofan powerplant. This aircraft is very popular with private owners wanting to fly a jet warbird. Click here for some price data on this aircraft from the Market Watch section of the Flymall<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The aviation section of the Flymall<\/a> is full of aviation news, training info, and much more for the aviator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air show season is always just around the corner.  Want to travel to air shows in your own aircraft?  Visit our used aircraft page<\/a> on the Flymall to view our inventory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Car\/Motorcycle Show News<\/strong>:   The Laytonsville Cruise In<\/a> is the place to be on a Friday night in Montgomery County.  The Laytonsville Cruise In was started by Harry in 2010. It has become one of the most popular cruise ins in the area. You can follow Harry on Facebook<\/a> for daily updates during the many shows and events he attends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is very rare that you see Russian or Soviet Union made cars at car shows in the states. Here is a rare prototype that from the looks of it, could have been a very popular car. The 1965 ZAZ (Zaporozheds) Sport 900. Made in the Soviet Union. Only 6 of these prototype fiberglass coup\u00e9s were build.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our Events Calendar<\/a> has the most current info regarding local and national car shows, air shows, and more.  With nearly 30 categories, there is something for everyone.  The Day Tripper section<\/a> of the Flymall has dozens of day trip ideals and interesting places to visit.  Check it out here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now if having a car just for showing is not your cup-of-tea, here is the Sherp Ark<\/a>. This is one of the most extreme off roading vehicles on the market. The Sherp ATV was originally designed to work in Siberia under the most extreme off-road conditions.\u00a0Their website states that prices start at $375,000 USD. So if you have about a half millions dollars and you need a vehicle that can go anywhere at anytime, the Sherp Ark is what you are looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re in to trains and 4 WD isn’t enough for you, take a look at this. The MAZ-547\/ M 62 Overlander.
A Soviet mix of a 12 wheel AWD with the body and 150.6 liter, two stroke V12 Diesel-electric engine of a train. It has over 1900 HP! This will certainly get the kids to school when it snows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Russia, vehicles are built tough. And this 1967 KAMOV KA-30 Snowmobile is just that, tough as can be. The helicopter engine producing 260 horsepower was enough to accelerate the KA-30 to 100 km \/ h.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of Russian motorcycles, most folks know of Ural Motorcycles. The Ural name is also known for trucks. The Ural-4320 Motovoz-M<\/a> is one of them. Here are a few Ural trucks. The one in the middle is a newer one and the two end ones are older. The Ural-4320 is a general purpose off-road 6\u00d76 vehicle, produced at the Ural Automotive Plant in Miass, Russia for use in the Russian army. Introduced in 1976, it is still in production today (the Ural motorcycle was introduced during WWII and is still in production today). The wheel arrangement for the Ural-4320 was designed for transporting cargo, people and trailers on all types of roads and terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In our collection of rare and unusual 3 wheel vehicles, we have a 1969 Russian Ural 650 with a sidecar<\/a>. This bike is kept in running condition and its street legal and tagged. She’s built like a Russian tank. The picture below was taken when Harry was test driving the bike at a local classic motorcycle day event. We did not know someone took this picture until many years later. Someone found out we purchased the bike and sent us the picture. How cool is that, to have a picture from when you were test driving a classic motorcycle?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prototypes<\/strong>: January 14 1950 was the first flight of the MiG-17<\/a> (\u041c\u0438\u043a\u043e\u044f\u043d \u0438 \u0413\u0443\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0438\u0447 \u041c\u0438\u0413-17). The MiG-17 first saw combat in 1958. If you’re lucky enough, you can often see a MiG flying at an airshow in the states. Be sure to visit our events calendar<\/a> to stay up to date on aviation events and airshows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nautical Notes<\/strong>: As pilots, we learn about ground effect for soft field takeoffs. Basically this means how to takeoff from a grass runway or snow covered runway. An airplane can fly at slower speeds while in ground effect. In 1975, Russia created a ground effect “craft” called the Lun-class ekranoplan. It was powered by 8 engines. Not really an airplane, this vehicle was meant to fly in ground effect all the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Lun-class ekranoplan (also called Project 903) is a ground effect vehicle (GEV) designed by Rostislav Alexeyev in 1975 and used by the Soviet and Russian navies from 1987 until sometime in the late 1990s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It flew using lift generated by the ground effect acting on its large wings when within about 13 feet above the surface of the water. Although they might look similar to traditional aircraft, ekranoplans like the Lun are not classified as aircraft, seaplanes, hovercraft, or hydrofoils. Rather, crafts like the Lun-class ekranoplan are classified as maritime ships by the International Maritime Organization due to their use of the ground effect, in which the craft glides just above the surface of the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding The Rails:<\/strong> Here is a Soviet Union Class 2-3-2V Streamliner locomotive. A very cool art-deco design. It developed 3,400 horsepower. It’s believe that only 2 were built. Click on the image for a larger view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Animals in the headlines<\/strong>: Meet Boris, our Russian tortoise. Boris has been in our turtle sanctuary<\/a> since about 2009. His age is unknown. He one of about 20 turtles we have in our care. Boris is a full grown male Russian tortoise. A full grown male Russian tortoise in much smaller than an adult Eastern Box turtle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
