Unlimited Hydroplanes are the fastest boats in the world, able to hit speeds over 200 mph. They are 28-32 feet long and weigh a minimum of 6575 pounds – yet they fly across the water. Drivers guide the hydroplane from an F-16 cockpit on a cushion of air trapped between two sponsons. Keeping a hydroplane running smoothly at 200 mph requires teamwork and skill – the same teamwork and skill you’ll find serving in the Air National Guard.
