The wake consists of more than just the downwash you

know, even without setting foot in a real aircraft, that it is possible
to return to the same parcel of air and pass through the smoke you had
left previously.



I never questioned that.


On a calm day, no descending or climbing is required.



How do you know? What skywriting have you done?

About 200 hours aerobatics with smoke. What skywriting have YOU done?
