... somebody is skywriting big letters in the sky..

"Turn to Jesus" it says...

Man, how to you get to be a skywriter? My ultimate dream is to be a pilot, and to be skywritinr would be just the coolest damn thing in the world.

I guess you have to be a pilot and then you can go to skywriting school.. and then I guess someone can pay you to write a message in the sky... as in "Will you marry me, (whoever)?"

My girlfriend and I were just having a discusion on how big the letters are. My guess is they are about half a mile from top to bottom, maybe less..

If the plane is going 120 knots.. which I don't know if he is.. then 15 seconds going downward, say for the leg of the "J".. 15 seconds would cover a half mile..

Now that I think about it, the letters may be about a third of a mile tall...thousand yards wide...(I'm guessing here)

Everybody gets to be a skywriter but me!! :cry:

:nopity:

Heyo
