How can you be sure it was wake turbulence and not something that was in the atmosphere to begin with. We have all hit unexplained sudden bumps in smooth air. Don't you think five minutes in trail is a bit long to be getting severe wake turbulence from an aircraft not even in a high lift configuration. How many airplanes have followed 707's on final approach less than five minutes in trail without experiencing severe wake turbulence
