    Isn’t air resistance friction?

      Not entirely. You get a lot of air resistance from vortex shredding which pulls the object back because of turbulent air flow at high speeds behind the object. You also have collision with air molecules when they are compressed in front of the object.

      Friction on the other hand is more dominant when pushing an object along a surface.
