I'd love to see "3-D" perspective view of the wake behind a towplane, as

Have you seen this?

BTW: Have you already seen this? (starts at 0:55):

Note how long the air behind the plane continues to sink after the

I had not seen any of them. Both were very useful. I wish they had the
video show how the split winglets had changed things.
