Question by gregva2001: WIG, I heard that there is a Ferry service being run in Alaska using a WIG type aircraft, anyone heard of this
I know that Beriev in the former USSR had built and tested several wing in ground effect sea-plane type aircraft for the military, one destroyed in an accident, the other moth-balled. Would a large transport type WIG aircaft be able to go across the Atlantic and/or pacific? or even for work on inland lakes, rivers etc.
