That is a cool video!

Thanks!

They're a bit more haphazard than in the illustration in the Pilot's Handbook of Aeronautical Knowledge!

Chemtrails. Sprayers must have still been on.



Kidding aside great video. Thanks

They also don't descend like the PHAK says they do.

Looks like they're descending to me?!?!?

Depends upon the winds. The worst wake turbulence encounter of my career (so far) was 10 miles behind a B777, and I was flying a B727.

Impressive. I've watched similar at DTW. An airliner landing in high humidity, and could actually see the airflow over the wings.

Interesting video. Aren't the vortices coming off of outer end of the flaps, not the wingtips? Looks that way to me.

After the main gear touches down, you can use the tail as a sightline. The vortex right behind it is not sinking.
