Laugh of the day

It's sometimes just plain tedious to work on scenery or flightplanning or whatever.
So, you take a break, go fly or drive somewhere you haven't been or really look closely at something you've only given a cursory glance before declaring "that's cool", acceptable or whatever.
And then you runinto soemthing like this and you just have to laugh.
I've heard of underground facilities, but didn't know that the Russians had lighter than air fuel faciilities.
On a more serious note, this is the type of thing so often involved in adapting FS9 sceneries to FSX - especially when you don't want to just make a huge flatten and exclusion area and call it quits. I am going to try to make a local hill so that this facility doesn't float but I don't change the overall altitude of the larger scenery. Sometimes I can and sometimes it just doesn't work.
Edited: I'm kinda proud of this fix. Took me about 10 minutes, but I got it!
It looks even better in game than it does in this pic - a nice little "rolling hill" modification.
