This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

This is very different from the old sky writing. Is there a giant computer controlled bar that releases the smoke at the right time?
It's called skytyping. It's more expensive than regular skywriting because it needs 5 planes but it's easier to read.
Still cheaper than a smoking daisy wheel.
You seem knowledgeable about this stuff… where can you go in the United States to see actual skywriting? I’ve never seen it, but I’ve always lived the middle of nowhere.
Frequently at popular beaches.
i expected it to be like a long bar with exits you can open and close by computer and that way you could then control it.. isn't 5 planes a bit complicated?
