...and the #1 stupid Dallas city ordinance is:

CHAPTER 5 AIRCRAFT AND AIRPORTS

SEC. 5-11. USE OF HYDROPLANES ON CITY PROPERTY.
It shall be unlawful for any person to operate a hydroplane upon any
reservoir or any lake belonging to under control of the city. (Ord. Nos.
8213; 14384)

Presumably because they're Hydro "planes".

I supposed that they are forbidden for reasons of safety, security, and
hygiene. How many reservoirs and lakes are there in Dallas large enough to
accommodate aircraft?

Right over your head...

A hydroplane is a boat so called because when at speed it "planes"
over the surface of the water.

A hydroplane "planes" on it's hull, a hydrofoil "planes" on big water
skis.

Ummm... Think again:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydrofoil
A hydrofoil is a boat with wing-like foils mounted on struts below
the hull. As the craft increases its speed the hydrofoils develop
enough lift for the boat to become foilborne - i.e. to raise the
hull up and out of the water. This results in a great reduction in
drag and a corresponding increase in speed.

A hydrofoil works much like an aircraft wing, but it works in a fluid
medium with a substantially different viscosity.

Yeah, I should know better.

In my defence I remember some boats from decades ago when I used to
be involved with such things that had big water skis that apparently
never worked out too well or they would still be around.

The viscosity is different, but an airplane wing also works in a fluid.
Maybe you meant liquid?

I meant what I said, and I fail to infer the point you are attempting
to make. I chose the word 'fluid' specifically because it is the
correct term for both media.

The word is also a synonym for a seaplane, and that was probably the
definition intended in the law.

No, it isn't, fjukktard. It's a completely different type of
contraption.



You are a no nothing idiot.
