sky writing

Plane-drawn advertisements

Skywriting is the formation of words or symbols in the sky by releasing smoke from an airplane.

The pilot traces letters against the blue, creating temporary messages visible for miles before wind disperses them.

Often used for advertising or marriage proposals: A plane did some skywriting over the beach—it said "Will you marry me?"
