I don't suppose you'd mind defining a "wake event" for me?
Well, it might just be a comment on the RT, and/or a report filed. Or it might be the aeroplane rolling upside down, crashing and killing all on board (which has happened), or anything in between...

Maybe I should have stated that the 757 is classified, for the purposes of wake, as a "heavy".
Sorry - disagree, at least in the UK. It's a medium. Was when I flew it, and still is when I takeoff behind it... (in another medium).

As I said earlier, certain airlines specify it shall be treated as a heavy. However, it is not in that weight category...
