Oceana 2004 Airshow / AF237D Sept. 24-26, 2004

The Skytypers' air show participation is unique because in addition to performing aerial maneuvers in the show, these vintage aircraft also "skytype." The airplanes create messages in the sky that are 8 miles long, as tall as the Empire State Building and can be seen for 15 miles in any direction or nearly 400 square miles.
Unlike skywriting, which utilizes a single airplane which takes approximately 3 minutes to form a letter. Skytyping utilizes five airplanes that fly abreast,
250-feet apart and "type" up to 25-30 character messages in a dot-matrix-like pattern. Skytyping is 17 times faster than skywriting, laying out a letter
every 4 seconds.
