skywrite
Spell with smoke
Skywrite is to form letters or words in the sky using smoke released from an aircraft, creating temporary messages visible from the ground.
The practice emerged in the early twentieth century as a novel advertising technique and remains an occasional spectacle at events and celebrations.
A pilot skywriting a marriage proposal drew crowds at the beach.
The smoke trails gradually disperse with the wind, giving skywritten messages a fleeting quality.
