My wife and I also attended a Fund Raiser Air Show at the Sanders Aircraft Facility on a Private Strip about a month before OSH. The spectators were about 100 feet from the runway with a light crosswind blowing toward us. The Sea Fury had the very dense smoke generators on the wingtips so vortices were easily seen for minutes after each pass. You would not believe how long these lasted and how strong they felt when they drifted back to the crowd. And this was at low angle of attack and a not so large aircraft. Seeing or feeling this it will make a believer out of you. Steve Colwell
