It cleans up the airplane.

• Stops the "drag" and makes the air flow more smoothly over the wings.
• Allows the airplane to reach much higher airspeed.

Look at the difference!

Older airplanes did not have retractable landing gear. Gear stayed down all the time. Speeds were limited until retractable landing was invented.

Okay Cap'n, get yourself out of this one... relate it to me and my experience at WA.

• Glad you asked.
• Do you ever look at your website? Is it "clean"?
• Does it load quickly or do people leave your site because it is so slow?
• Have you ever done an SEO test to see how you rate?
• Are there lots of things "hanging off" your website, maybe too many plug-ins?
• Is your Wi-Fi modem running at its best speed? Have you checked it?
• Google "Wi-Fi" speed checks: https://www.wirefly.com/internet-speed-test FREE
• I don't have anything to do with that site... its only one of many free ones.
• Get your gear up! Make sure you have a "clean" airplane/website. Be sure your readers are getting the best experience from your website.
