We'll take your word for it.
Interesting though that the agy found turbulence all that distance away from the wind turbines.
I see in the USA there have been four seperate fatal ag plane prangs around wind towers. I don't know the reasons.
There is also mention in the UK CAAPs of pilot reports of wind turbine turbulence. Normally pilots don't report things unless something of concern happens.
There is also the fact that the blades on these wind turbines will each be as long as the entire wing span of a Boeing 747. Unless wake turbulence from big jets is a myth I'd imagine a 'wing' twice the size of a 747 would put out a huge wing tip vortice... perhaps there are some YouTube videos of burning wind turbines 'blowing' smoke rings..
