Graffiti Sky Bombing - How It Was Done

As we were watching the graffiti sky bombing take place this afternoon, it was so high up that we couldn't see the actual planes at the time. We thought that it might be one plane towing some sort of spaced out smoke system. But after uploadeding the pics, cropping the photos and zooming in, it became clear that there were five separate airplanes that were flying together to do the writing in the sky.

The fact that there are five planes makes it at least five times more impressive (and expensive!). It must be incredibly difficult to time the flying, and space it out so that all the letters are lined up correctly--and the aerial acrobatics were spot on. It was like the Blue Angels or something.

Here are the planes as they spell out Tyke. The smoke must have been coordinated through some kind of system to line up so cleanly, and you can see in the pics when they turn the smoke on and off.

Stay up.
