Back in the air.

The difference is that when the longitudinal axis of the airplane is not
lined up with the runway centerline (forward slip), there is much more
drag.

This is true of a side slip too. I suppose if you want to lose
altitude, you cross your controls more, but again, the =airplane=
doesn't see the runway, so the =airplane= can't tell the difference.
It's just cross controlled.

The only difference between the two slips is what you are looking at out
the window.
