I doubt the fin and rudder would do much at the slow transit speed, but happy to stand corrected.

(I'm reminded of the not-so-successful attempt to lift the Searey off Lake Eyre and carry her to William Creek. Helicopter crew jettisoned the Searey after she started to swing increasingly during the transit. Thing ended up a pancake on the back of a trailer. Sad picture.)
