@aztlaxpuroazul Flew to St. Croix back in 1986 from Kennedy on a DC-10 and hit WT. Although I didn't know what it was then, it certainly scared the crap out of me! It was like hitting a speed bump in a car going a little too fast.

scary!

AA always gas dirty planes! But great video!

Wow -- that was the real thing... Thanks for the vid - thats a great example. The way I figure, if you actively search for wake turbulence - purely to observe and learn - then wake turbulence won't come looking for you, because I think they have the upper hand. It's the invisibility factor - gives them the advantage (unless you have a shoulder-mounted turbofan that you can use to break them up or literally blow them away).

dam did that wing just pull a total turn reversal due to the wake?

great vid dude, thx. this is an excellent representation of wake turb, the FAA/airlines could use this as training footage great shots! I've never been to DCA. I experienced my one brush (knowingly) with wake turb in 02-03 on a DL MD-88 BHM-ATL on the appr. to ATL at around 1000 ft at night...it was so freaky, everything was so calm no bumps, etc then it felt like we flew threw a brick wall ...sudden, sharp jolt then the pilots came on after lndg to expl we'd flown through wake turb
what seat were you in?

@TheLiLD95 I honestly don't remember. I believe it was somewhere in the area of row 20? and obviously it was the seat on the far right

It is the turbulence that is caused by the wake of a departing or arriving aircraft.

Was the wake turbulence from another 737-800?

It was from a Continental 737, it was either a -700 or -800. I cannot remember.
