I wanted to get pictures of 747's landing. It was too windy after they passed. Wing Vortices are serious. Jack Webb Subject: [LML] Re: Wing pressure Posted for "Skip Slater" : "Has anyone experienced a downward blast from a landing aircraft?"Boy have I ever! I took the attached photo on Diego Garcia during an Indian Ocean deployment with the Navy back in 1981. I was bored one day so I climbed up on the ----- to keep from being blown off of it. It was like being in a vertical hurricane for a couple of seconds and then it just stopped. Pretty powerful demonstration. Skip Slater N540ES
