It’s really strange and nefarious how airline pilots don’t like to fly through other airplanes’ contrails.”

Does the term “wake turbulence” mean anything to you?

Yes, as a matter of fact. I know a whole lot about wake turbulence, both near the ground and at altitude.

Ever seen the "meme" video where the F-22 (IIRC) "cuts in front of" the C-5 on the runway? You know why the controller did that. I know why the controller did that. I wonder if anybody else on this thread knows why the controller did that ...

Please recalibrate your sarcasm-o-meter. Thank you and have a wonderful day!

NM was making a joke (it was a good one).
