anyone else have this kind of advertising going on? I was out at lunch & it was rather funny watching people walking into poles while staring up at the sky ... apparently it's done by 5 planes leaving a dot-matrix type of writing ... it is kinda weird to see ...

Yeah... I mean I'm really not ragging on Canada, but sky writing was basically a way for WWII-era pilots to continue using their precision formation flying skills in the 50, 60s & 70s. It died when those guys stopped flying, for the most part."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Originally posted by Bob Kohm View PostReally? As Ed says, it was a NYC staple-- the ballparks, Jones Beach, Coney Island, even just over commercial areas. Five planes flying in formation doing exactly that-- it's actually the only type of skywriting I've ever seen outside of cartoons. What other kinds have you seen?
I have to admit BK-- the skywriting planes always seemed like they were 5 miles up. You almost never saw the planes, and it seemed as if they were smaller than the exhaust cloud. I did always wonder how the heck they did that.

Originally posted by eldiablo505I have no idea what kind of planes they were but they didn't do that dot thing. I think it looks pretty neat.
Edit: The ones I've seen just say "love" and "jesus" and "marry me Susan" and stuff like that."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.

Originally posted by revo View PostTotally agree here. Anyone who grew up in NYC, especially south of Manhattan, were always treated to this. I spotted skywriting last summer here (Northern NJ) and it brought back memories.

what elD is talking about is like:
same for me - that's the only kind of sky writing i've ever seen - never seen the dot-matrix type. must be a west vs. east coast thing?"Instead of all of this energy and effort directed at the war to end drugs, how about a little attention to drugs which will end war?" Albert Hofmann

Seems that what you're showing is actually "sky writing" and what me and Ed have seen is called "skytyping", although I've always heard it called skywriting."There is involved in this struggle the question whether your children and my children shall enjoy the privileges we have enjoyed.
