Default Wake vortices... a sterile danger?

Wake vorticies from a small plane are felt while the small plane is making
circles in the sky, they will often feel a sharp bump as they cross their
own wake. Now multiply that by many times.


I once inadvertently crossed a B727 wake perpendicularly. It was like
slamming into a large pothole at speed in an automobile.
