does it fly or hover? I have it hanging with my jets and my friend said it may not be able to fly like the jets, that it hovers a few feet off the ground. thanks!

I always assumed that it was more of a hovering vehicle. I suppose it is all up to you, though. If you want it to full out fly in your Joeverse, go for it.

Uh, hate to break it to you but Zanzibar's Air Skiff is a watercraft. It's based on the "airboat" design (seen here). Check out issue #60 of the original Marvel comic series to see it in action on water.

zulu's right, but I always pretended it was a low-range hovercraft, so it could hover on land too, but only a short distance off the ground.

Exactly my thoughts. Not capable of flying very high, but can get a few feet off of the ground.

I don't even think it can get off the ground, there's nothing to lift it off the ground. It's a pure water craft.

I've always thought of it as a swamp vehicle.

How it's portrayed in the comics really doesn't mean anything, it's not like they paid attention to psychis and such.
If you want to go with the comics, it can fly off the ground a few feet and over land short distances. Reality, that thing is pure water/swamp and even then don't think it would work too well.
