Sky Typing

We were in Long Beach taking our first kite surf lesson when all of a sudden this appeared in the sky.

A great new way to get your message out: take it to the sky. Fly a number of planes in parallel to each other and emit vapor puffs in a dot matrix pattern.
These puffs are regulated by an onboard computer that controls the sequencing of the vapor to form the letters in the sky.
Simple, yet sofisticated!
