It was pretty cool to see big jets 500 feet above & below me.
(American 458, traffic is a Skyhawk, 12 o'clock, 2 miles, 3500
ft--report
traffic in sight!)

Hm, is 500' enough separation for wake turbulence? The airliner was
presumably flying well below cruise speed.

That one was at 3000' on approach to LGA, going opposite to my direction. I
don't think he was going much faster than I was :-)
