    The one to the right is on a hard stand horizontally and if you tilt the nose up the wing root aligns.

    Those planes on the Melbourne : I flew with a A4 pilot back in the late 80's. Of course we were in a Cessna float plane and he "had the plane". Wife and I took a float plane ride and I ask the guy flying how long he had been flying. He said he flew A4's in the Navy in Vietnam early 70's. THEN he brought it down to wave top level, said don't worry we're not landing Yet, and did a flyby of our dock ! Still have the VHS video my wife took from the backseat. Awesome ride !
