This is my stomping grounds,(Lake Superior) it is what draws me to the open water.

 

Lake Superior. Isn't that somewhere near Oshkosh where they hold the EAA fly-in every year?
Do they use that Lake for the Sea-craft?

Mychael,
Oshkosh is on lake Winnebago, and that is where the annual Eaa fly in is located. Lake Superior is much, much bigger. You feel as though you are at the ocean when you see it, except that the wave action along the shore is not as intense as the ocean. Oh Ya, and the water is very C O L D!!

Thanks for the video, thought it was a blank page at first as my browser was very slow to load it.

 

Interesting concept the Aeroscraft but they make reference to useing helium which if I understand correctly is in short supply and only available in a very limited resourse.

Mychael

 

Mychael, that is because everybody keeps using helium in their party balloons, if people would stop having bloody parties there would be enough helium for aircraft.

I like the top photo--it's a trick photo, right? If you look really closely, you can see a shark in the photo?

Eric,
I'm glad to see your mind is still partway in the gutter.

If it is the same BEDE and I'm assuming it is. Then he was also an aircraft designer of some successful and some not so successful homebulit aircraft.
