Logistics of a Portkey

[Saitaina]

Alright, the following questions are
rather hard to form awnsers to since
we've only seen portkey use from the
user's point of view, but hopefully you
guys can help me.

1.  If one were traveling on a
broomstick and used a portkey that was
activated to touch, would he disappear
from that situation instantly (like
apparition) or fade away or what?

2.  What, if anything, would an
observer close to the portkeyer feel?
A backrush of wind, the use of
magick...what?

3.  If the user was currently flying on
a broom, would his forward trajectory
keep him moving once wherever the
portkey dropped him off?  Or would that
trajectory change since the portkey is
a motion of it's own (Harry and other
stumble in GoF when they arrive at the
Quidditch World Cup).

4.  Do you have to be on tera firma to
use it?  (or could you be airborne)

was five.  I have it all planned,
invitations, cake,  heck I even know
what flatware to use.  I'm twenty-three
now, and I'm watching those dreams go
up in flames.  All because I'm a
lesbian, a second class citizen.
