- It wasn't enough to fly under the Red River Bridge in Louisiana wing tip to wing tip, but they did it upside-down.
- The hydraulically retracted wing tip floats were similar in construction to the hull.
- Moving the radiators to wing tip pods created a cooling problem while on the ground because the radiators were out of the prop blast.
- These tail fin tip vortices have been interpreted to be analogous to wing tip vortices of aircraft.
- I recall seeing the aircraft shudder, then pull wing tip streamers as his prop wash shook the tree tops.

- Farther down the sidewalk, Gilbert spies some leather wing tips in a shop window.
- I watched, in mute fascination, as the black wingtip shoe sliced through the air.
- Ray was, of course, dressed in the standard Gordon Bailey uniform: white button down shirt, navy suit jacket, navy tie, khaki trousers, black wingtip shoes.
- But between the way he dressed and carried himself and those wingtip shoes, I thought he was the biggest man in the world.
- As if to reassure myself, I glanced down at my school uniform: at the polished black wingtip shoes, the freshly ironed khaki trousers, the crisp white button-down shirt, the silk navy colored tie, and the sharp navy colored suit jacket.
