skywriting

Smoke trail messages

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

The pilot flies in precise patterns, leaving trails that spell out messages visible from the ground—typically advertisements or marriage proposals.

The effect is temporary; the smoke disperses within minutes.

A small plane did skywriting over the beach.
