Como se aprende a escrever o céu?

8

Parece que o skywriting seria muito difícil de aprender, já que parece não haver nenhuma maneira de voltar atrás e ver se você cometeu um erro. E ainda assim as pessoas têm feito isso desde os primeiros dias de vôo.

Então, aqui está a minha pergunta: como é que se aprende a escrever no céu, e existem ferramentas para tornar isso mais fácil (uma webcam montada no chão com uma tela montada no painel foi uma ideia que me veio à mente, não tenho ideia de como viável que seja)?

Tente ler isto artigo da businessweek . Vai lhe dar uma resposta, mas provavelmente você não vai gostar. Aqui uma citação:

“It requires an incredible level of precision flying,” Oliver says. “There are so many factors. Where’s the sun, which way is the wind blowing, where’s your crowd? You only learn that over time, after doing it enough. And you can’t go practice when skywriting fluid is 10 [dollars] a gallon and gasoline is 7 [dollars] a gallon.” It’s also difficult to learn the craft of skywriting when nobody is willing to teach it. Oliver and Asbury-Oliver won’t share any of their secrets. In fact, while Asbury-Oliver was employed by Pepsi, she was contractually forbidden from discussing her skywriting techniques with anybody, including friends, colleagues, and journalists. “In the ’30s and ’40s, there were a lot of skywriters trying to make a living,” she says. “So they shared nothing. They wouldn’t tell each other what kind of fluid they used to make the letters, what kind of exhaust pump they used. Everything was top secret.” While an air of secrecy might’ve made sense a century ago, why do they continue to be clandestine, despite their competition being essentially nonexistent? “We’re old enough and we’ve been around long enough that we’re both traditionalists,” says Oliver.
