"Cruise altitude vortices usually level off at about 1000 feet below the altitude of the aircraft as their density comes into equilibrium with that of the surrounding air. Decay processes then take over. " Don't underestimate the value of the words "usually" and "about" in that sentence. You are still trying to absolutely describe something that is very dynamic. True. So I guess we could all agree that where the wake goes, depends on the surrounding atmosphere and aircraft profile... Still... if it stayed at the same altitude most of the time (contrary to NASA reports), or was over 100' tall (as some tried to claim at first), then EVERY student pilot could hit their own wake all the time grin.
