Gannets don't really fly, they are just
so ugly the Earth repels them.

Really a shame. the Twin Bo was in real life a great looking airplane. If
anyone takes a really close look at the side view they would see the same
lofting lines as the Beech Bonanza. All Beech did was scale up the Bonanza.
In fact the first prototype had the V tail, but it ended up with the more
conventional configuration after flight testing showed a need for more
rudder.

You've obviously not seen the real thing in flight




One of the most majestic of Nature's flyers, and anything that can "crash
dive" into the ocean from a height of several hundred feet, submerge, then
take off again is to be much admired.

Show me the man made machine that can do as much.

Obviously you don't remember the flying sub on Voyage to the Bottom of the
Sea. It used to do it every week.

Just kidding.

Didn't the Batplane dive underwater in few episodes?
