So, you've got a nice team of heroes, each with a specialty and associated Humongous Mecha or vehicle. A fiery leader, a strong man, a flying ace, The Heart for good measure, and a naval master. You hit an instant snag, though. Once you are out of range of the ocean, your naval man's mech loses its special value to the team. How does one make up for this Aquaman-level flaw? Invoke the power of flight. Suddenly, that seafaring machine takes to the air. It's not just mecha, by the way. Anything that looks like an aquatic vehicle can, with the right amount of thought or lack thereof, be converted to something that flies through the air or into space. After all, Space Is an Ocean, isn't it? Compare with Flying Seafood Special, where the inexplicably flying aquatic entities are living organisms. |

Wonder Woman (1987): Wonder Woman forces Air Force One to land in the East River after the Joker gets at the controls and nearly flies into a building in New York with it. Luckily, as it is Lex Luthor's Air Force One it's not really a plane, and doesn't even really look like one, and has an amphibious mode. | |

Inverted in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann: The Dai-Gurren, which looks like a ship with legs and a torso, was originally a surface battleship. Later, Leeron converted it to be seaworthy (by tacking on a giant paddle and a pair of flippers...), though they couldn't go very deep. Even later, it nabbed one of the flight spheres of the Dai-Gunten, Cytomander's Airborne Aircraft Carrier, gaining the ability of unassisted flight... even though Parallel Works 8 shows us hundreds of these battling the Anti-Spirals in high Earth orbit. Similar inversion occurred in the final season: while Ganmen were shown earlier as not being water-proof, they CAN fly and fight in space. The Gurren-Lagann doesn't have this problem. It can be explained away by saying that the Ganmen being designed for space battles means that they're designed to keep overpressure inside, not to keep it out. As for the Gurren-Lagann's self-sealing... it's the only pre-Time Skip Ganmen shown to use reality-warping Spiral Energy (aside from the Lazengann, of course). A third inversion: the Moon-sized Chouginga Dai-Gurren can apparently operate as a submarine, even though there's no ocean big enough for it... though when they got caught in the ocean-like Death Spiral Field, the ship was almost crushed by the pressure. |

This happened with the G.I. Joe S.H.A.R.C. toy. Originally concieved only as a mini-sub, kids play-testing it decided that the engines mounted on the sides looked like wings, and started making it fly. Hasbro decided to just roll with it. | |

Engine Sentai Go-onger/Power Rangers RPM: Played with, as the mecha are animal/vehicle hybrids and flight ability is based on the vehicle half: Birca/Tail Spinner averts it being an orca-cycle and Jumbowhale/Whale Zord justifies it, being a whale-plane. In fact, the Whale Zord is an inversion, as the plane was built and then given its aquatic characteristics. Meta Guy Ziggy even lampshades it, asking "Why'd you make it a whale? Whales don't fly!" | |

Space Battleship Yamato has it both ways: it is an ex-sea battleship that was reconfigured into a space battleship, but it can still go on water, and can indeed go underwater and survive if absolutely necessary. Later Earth ships inverts it, as they're built as spaceships but can go on and underwater as needed. |

Golden Sun 2: You get a ship that is upgraded to an airship... by adding giant flapping wings. Said wings are explicitly powered by the party's magic - specifically, an ability called Hover. Using it for awhile will drop your magic reserves to nothing, however, but sailing on the water slowly regenerates them. | |

Marvel Universe Anti-villain-hero Namor the Submariner could fly. Because he had wings on his ankles. You know, like underwater creatures do. People forget, Namor isn't just a Half-Human Hybrid (a cross between baseline human and Atlantean), he's a MUTANT hybrid that exhibits a bunch of traits not found in either population. |

In the Super Robot Wars series, there are special devices that allow mechs to function in terrain where they're not able to normally operate. Thus, a water-focused unit like the Getter-3 can fly in the sky while the space-based GP-03 Dendrobium can become an underwater Mobile Armor. This is taken to the extreme in Third Super Robot Wars Z where, in-story, the submarine Tuatha de Danaan is converted into a spaceship. | |

In the Leviathan DLC for Mass Effect 3 this trope is inversed; your pilot mentions that the dropship that you are flying in can, in fact, function underwater. Unfortunately, the dropship is knocked out before it gets a chance to demonstrate, and you are forced to find another way underwater. | |

Super Mario Bros.: Normally, Bloopers are only encountered in underwater levels, but in some games they can appear on dry land, where they act no differently from their aquatic counterparts, being able to free float around in both environments. This trait was first introduced in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels as an Ascended Glitchnote in the Famicom Disk System release of Super Mario Bros., airborne Bloopers appear in World -3, later becoming a staple of the species in various other installments. | |

In Centurions, Max Ray, the sea operations specialist, has used his Cruiser Assault Weapon System to slow his descent in a fall from high altitude, achieving Not Quite Flight. Another episode had him using his Tidal Blast to survive the vacuum of outer space, and yet another had him using the same Tidal Blast to achieve a space version of Not Quite Flight. He has also used Ace's Skyknight AWS (for real Flight this time) in at least one episode. Inverted with Ace using his Orbital Interceptor for underwater operations at abyssal depths. |

Wonder Woman Wonder Woman (1942): Wonder Woman and the Holliday Girls try to ambush the Saturnians aboard the submarine Saturnia, only to discover that Saturnia doubles as a spaceship. Wonder Woman (1987): Wonder Woman forces Air Force One to land in the East River after the Joker gets at the controls and nearly flies into a building in New York with it. Luckily, as it is Lex Luthor's Air Force One it's not really a plane, and doesn't even really look like one, and has an amphibious mode. |

Final Fantasy: Many of the airships in the older games look as if they were ships, of the seafaring variety, with the sails replaced by propellors. You explicitly change your normal ship into an airship when you no longer need a boat in Final Fantasy III. In Final Fantasy V, the airship can go from a normal ship to a flying airship mode and back. And once it's in the water, it can change further into a submarine. Pressing the "lift-off" button while sailing asks you whether to go "up" (into the sky) or "down" (into the ocean.) The Tiny Bronco in Final Fantasy VII is an inversion: a seaplane that breaks down when the party tries to fly it out of Rocket Town, forcing them to use it as a boat instead. The steam-powered airship Hilde Garde III in Final Fantasy IX is similarly built from the hull of the Blue Narciss, a sailing vessel. |

Super Sentai/Power Rangers has a few examples Choujuu Sentai Liveman: Averted: Aqua Dolphin, when not in the water, rolls on the ground. Power Rangers Turbo: Divatox's submarine is shown to also have space flight capabilities. Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger/Power Rangers Wild Force: Gao Shark/Shark Zord fits it to a tee. While on Animeria, it's always shown in the water. The moment it is summoned to earth, it's flying right alongside Gao Eagle. This gets egregious when the Rangers actually mimic their animals' movements in chase scenes (averted in Wild Force by giving them Cool Bikes) and GaoBlue is FLYING beside Yellow (the Eagle). There's also the SixthRanger's Hammerhead Shark Zord, though it isn't featured as prominently as the Shark Zord due to not being the main zord for its corresponding ranger. In its first appearance, when the Sixth Ranger is still evil, it actually engages the Shark and Eagle Zords in a midair battle. Ninpuu Sentai Hurricaneger/Power Rangers Ninja Storm: Zigzagged by Hurricane Dolphin/Dolphin Zord - Stock Footage shows it "swimming" along the ground, but it flies in the occasional fight where the mecha don't immediately combine. Juken Sentai Gekiranger/Power Rangers Jungle Fury: Possibly played straight with Geki Penguin/Penguin Spirit, which flies about on a hover board. Engine Sentai Go-onger/Power Rangers RPM: Played with, as the mecha are animal/vehicle hybrids and flight ability is based on the vehicle half: Birca/Tail Spinner averts it being an orca-cycle and Jumbowhale/Whale Zord justifies it, being a whale-plane. In fact, the Whale Zord is an inversion, as the plane was built and then given its aquatic characteristics. Meta Guy Ziggy even lampshades it, asking "Why'd you make it a whale? Whales don't fly!" Samurai Sentai Shinkenger/Power Rangers Samurai: Thrice over. Kame, Kajiki, and Ika Origami/Turtle, Swordfish, and "Octo" (squid) Zords are all shown flying in combat. Ika is the only one to truly follow the trope though, as it spends it's off time in a fish tank. Tensou Sentai Goseiger/Power Rangers Megaforce Season 1: Gosei Shark/Shark Zord averts it by moving on the ground when not in the water. The Sea(ick) Brothers play it straight a bit, though, but that's hardly unique to them; all the "Brothers" sets of mecha can fly around.

In addition, there's GokaiMarine/Sub Zord, which at least has shown it can move about in space (as can the other land mecha). Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger/Power Rangers Dino Charge has Plezuon/Plesiozord, though this is also justified because it's part spaceship. Kyoryuger offers further justification of why a mecha based on a water creature would be equipped for space by referring to Space Is an Ocean. |

Some writers have taken Aquaman's Required Secondary Powers to their logical conclusion and given him the power to "leap tall buildings in a single bound" in the style of Golden Age Superman. | |

In Final Fantasy V, the airship can go from a normal ship to a flying airship mode and back. And once it's in the water, it can change further into a submarine. Pressing the "lift-off" button while sailing asks you whether to go "up" (into the sky) or "down" (into the ocean.) |

X-COM: Terror from the Deep features USOs, Unidentified Submersed Objects (basically, alien submarines), that can fly over land. This is mostly because the game is the original X-COM with new sprites. Oh, and your own flying subs cannot use their weapons unless they're submerged. It is at least justified in-game, as the submersibles used by X-COM are equipped with what are essentially underwater jet engines. When they go above water, they're just regular old jet engines. Also, the weapons used by X-COM craft are specifically designed for underwater use, such as torpedoes and sonic oscillators (sound travels much slower in air than in water). Gauss cannons should still work, though (better, in fact, since there's no water resistance for the slugs). |

The Empire of the Rising Sun in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3 uses several of these as their main gimmick: The Sea-wing/Sky-wing, a fast anti-air submarine that can transform into anti-infantry airplanes. And by "transform", we really just mean "take off"; the two forms are identical except for flipping over. The Tengu is an anti-infantry robot that can fly to attack aircraft, but because it's ground form hovers it can go over water as well. The expansion's Giga Fortress is a floating self-repairing monstrosity that can hit anything except subs, though it lacks the range of the Shogun battleship. But when it goes into its giant floating demon head Sky Fortress mode, it can hit surface targets with an attack that can both outrange and one-shot turrets and most units. |

Beast Wars: Depth Charge has a manta ray beast-mode, and a flight alt-mode. His flight alt-mode, however, is based of the ship he used to come to earth in the first place. True of most Transformers with swimming alt-modes. Most sharkformers can fly, and the Energon toy-only Transformer Sharkticon turns into a submarine/spaceship. Several of the Fuzors, which are biological mashups of two animals, are part aquatic and part flying animal, in order to avert this. This results in the piranha/bee and hammerhead shark/falcon, which look about as cool as they sounds. |

The Ketaks (Atlantean flying vehicles shaped like various sea creatures) from Disney's Atlantis: The Lost Empire. They are apparently activated by having a small Atlantean Crystal inserted into a slot, and turned back quarter-way, much like how an actual car is started up. There's also the Leviathan, which was also capable of flight as seen in the prologue. |

Hyakujuu Sentai Gaoranger/Power Rangers Wild Force: Gao Shark/Shark Zord fits it to a tee. While on Animeria, it's always shown in the water. The moment it is summoned to earth, it's flying right alongside Gao Eagle. This gets egregious when the Rangers actually mimic their animals' movements in chase scenes (averted in Wild Force by giving them Cool Bikes) and GaoBlue is FLYING beside Yellow (the Eagle). There's also the SixthRanger's Hammerhead Shark Zord, though it isn't featured as prominently as the Shark Zord due to not being the main zord for its corresponding ranger. In its first appearance, when the Sixth Ranger is still evil, it actually engages the Shark and Eagle Zords in a midair battle. |

The Delta Flyer of Star Trek: Voyager is capable of surviving deep space pressure as well able to submerge in the depths of an alien ocean world. Justified in this case since that's exactly why they built it, to have a more versatile shuttle craft capable of handling a wider variety of missions than the standard issue ones. | |

Inverted in Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu; the Stinger and Serpent flying vehicles can also operate underwater. Played straight with the titular Gaiking, who can operate in both the air and underwater, although not as well as when combined with either the Stinger or the Crab Banker respectively. | |

Vehicles in Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts tend to turn out this way. Plane-ish vehicles tend to be able to navigate underwater easily (if they have the underwater capable cockpits) and Submarine vehicles tend to fly well (if given wings). Make a boat. Then add wings to it. Bam, flying boat! | |
