Negligible until you try landing in a crosswind! That can get interesting...

I would have thought that you'd have the boat facing forward for less drag.

Maybe the idea was to streamline the aft section of the boat to reduce buffeting on the tail stabilizer?

If you want it the other way around.. I ain't going with you! Ever look at a wing profile.. the dull end goes forward! That said, boats always go backwards, otherwise the air tumbling off the back will blank and stall the stabilizer.

Built in the forties, the Super Constellation was the ultimate is modern air travel, until the late sixties, when jets were introduced. The flames you see are for show. They rich-en the fuel mixture to produce this affect. You have a favorite aircraft ? Post a video or picture of it.

I remember those planes, for me they were most beautyful

I can't believe how close the prop tips come to the ground.

I've got this one on the correct way Mark!

You need to figure out how to strap a jet ski onto those pontoons!

The Final Phantom...

Manufactured in Japan on May 21, 1981 by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, JASDF-17-8440 was the last F-4 Phantom to be produced, two years after the assembly lines shut down in the United States.

And last year, the last three Phantoms still in operation in Japan made their final flight. One of them, 17-8301/301, had been in service for fifty years after first being imported in 1971.
