Filing Flight Plan
Me and a buddy were doing some formation flying - me in my Grumman Traveler, him in a Cherekee six. He flew into the vortex coming from my right wing tip and swears he was able to see it. He described it as a spiral shimmer - sort of like the visual distortion coming off a hot surface, only it was a tight spiral coming from the tip of my wing impacting his windshield.
I tried flying in his vortex - but my plane was tossed around like a piece of paper - couldn't keep it there very long (I was in the green arc).
So, is he dreaming? Can you really see that? We might try again to get it on video.
