Quite some decades ago, hearing that sound overhead would leave more than shivvers to ones body. Pretty to watch!

If you listen to the Air Traffic Controllers (liveatc dot net) you will often hear them advise "Caution. Wake Turbulence from _____ "
The aircraft that are most likely to cause significant wake turbulence will always add "Heavy" to the end of their call sign - "Speedbird 246 Heavy."
