Why is there such a fascination with applying nautical terms to Aviation

I'm as big a nautical fan as any but in nearly 30 years as a professional Pilot i've never seen the terms 'Port and Starboard in any official aviation publication.


What am I missing....?
I think itīs a British thing...one of the last remnants of the Empire. I flew the Fokker F27 and it was full of Port / Stbd references...awful airplane.

Now back to the thread itself, this appears to be indicative of a badly out of rigging airplane. Expensive.
