fatmal Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 An interesting article on a long-time sky writer, who has patented sky 'typing' - a good use for a formation rating? http://qz.com/624271/one-man-rules-global-skywriting-and-he-wants-to-bring-color-to-the-heavens/ mal 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanR Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 There is a guy at Camden who was setting this up with the intention of using 5 Harvards - not sure where it got to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 I saw this many years ago on Johanesburg. Very impressive, but I can't remember what the wording was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prwood Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 My instructor tried this in Melbourne many years ago. I remember seeing his first attempt, it was like dot matrix printing & was pretty impressive to watch. So fast compared with normal sky writing. The only reason it failed was because trying to organise 5 pilots to be at Moorabbin at the same time & date proved to be near impossible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 would they have to be 5 commercial pilots ? ............................. or would PPL's be able to handle the added responsibility of smoke coming out the exhaust ? (curious about that) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prwood Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Pretty sure they were all PPL's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
