HD Whilst lying on a sun lounger very close to Fuertaventura airport, it always amused me when I saw a 757 coming in. The wake vortex was, of course, guaranteed, and it was always amusing to watch everyones head come up after half a minute or so, as this strange noise washed its way around the swimming pool area.
I enlightened several people near me of it's origin, but they mostly disbelieved it, until such time as I pointed the next one on the approach, and, sure enough.........................
I think I am right in saying that the 757 was treated for seperation purposes as a 'heavy'
and that the vortex mainly originated from it's large flap area. Regards.
