It would move slightly backwards due to no air resistance-------------------------------------------------------

The above answer is rubbish. It would continue travelling forward. Whilst travelling forward it would also travel down. It would continue to travel forward until it slowed down to a zero forward speed ( DUE to air resistance ) but a terminal downward speed. Whether or not it would reach a zero forward speed and terminal downward speed would depend on how high it was when it was dropped.
