This is a good picture of wake vortex, they are small tornado's that come off the wings of large aircraft especially when they are in takeoff and landing configurations, small aircraft have to be aware of them when they are behind them on takeoff or landing.

University Develops Swarming Drones (With Video) February 10, 2012 By Glenn Pew, Contributing Editor, Video Editor ( http://www.avweb.com/avwebflash/news/university_figure_eight_swarm_drone_206169-1.html ) A research team at the University of Pennsylvania has successfully demonstrated close formation work among large networked groups of autonomous vehicles, and the results are visually captivating. The SWARMS project ( http://www.swarms.org/ ) (Scalable sWarms of Autonomous Robots and Mobile Sensors) involves a team from the university's general robotics, automation, sensing and perception lab. Work there on autonomous multicopters has led to demonstrations of the vehicles performing obstacle navigation and precise maneuvering while flying in large formations and operating as a group of networked autonomous vehicles. In plain English, you'll want to watch all 16 of them autonomously fly a cross-over figure eight pattern at 1:22 in the video. The entire article may be

Dam those cell phone cameras Don't try this trick at home.  It requires trained specialists to do this.  

Subject: 747 Pilot carrying the Shuttle... NASA 747 Pilot comments about carrying the Shuttle This was circulated in email at work, from United Technologies corporate. A quick "trip report" from the pilot of the 747 that flew the shuttle back to Florida after the Hubble repair flight. A humorous and interesting inside look at what it's like to fly two aircraft at once . . . (I have decided to adopt one of "Triple Nickel's" phrases : "That was too close for MY laundry!") Walt and all, Well, it's been 48 hours since I landed the 747 with the shuttle Atlantis on top and I am still buzzing from the experience. I have to say that my whole mind, body and soul went into the professional mode just before engine start in Mississippi, and stayed there, where it all needed to be, until well after the flight...in fact, I am not sure if it is all back to normal as I type this email. The experience was surreal. Seeing that

  Watch in full screen if you can. http://vimeo.com/18135369 Radial Engines, Propellers and Aluminum--  with outstanding scenery.  B-17 & B-25 over Saguaro Lake, AZ (this HD video will impress you). Go "full screen" and turn-up the volume! The photography is HD, the planes are gorgeous, and, most notably, it is shot as the B17 takes off from Falcon Field in Mesa, AZ and then flies over the Superstition Mountains to the east of Apache Junction, then to Roosevelt & Canyon lakes on the east edge of the Phoenix Valley. The backdrops are stunning. Music is from the miniseries John Adams. ENJOY!!!!!
