A popular form of aerial advertising and even the occasional marriage proposal, skywritten messages can have a BIG impact (and with letters approximately 1500 feet tall… we mean that quite literally).

And to learn all about it, we speak to a skywriting pilot whose family has been in the business since nearly the beginning.
