Hm, is 500' enough separation for wake turbulence? The airliner was
presumably flying well below cruise speed.


Approaching Colts Neck from the north, I occasionally get Newark departures
passing underneath, usually w/in 1000'. I'm shocked that ATC doesn't warn
them about wake turbulance from my 172.


A few times on very calm days I have felt wake turbulence from the 152 or
172 ahead of me on final! Tower, on one slow, still day, even issued me a
mock wake turb warning from the 152 ahead on final!

Heavies, though... I don't think they've got much to worry about from us
spamcans...
