It's form oil being passed through the aircraft's exhaust.

The last time I remember ever seeing any skywriting was in elementary school I might’ve been in kindergarten and David Duke was running for governor and he hired people to write his last name in the sky, which big times yikes all around right there

The chemical used to make aviation smoke, Systoval, is only made at a plant in Ukraine. The price was already through the roof before Russia invaded.


Not that I doubt you or trying to be annoying, but how did people obtain this before the Cold War was over in ‘91? Did we have a domestic supplier then? It seemed like sky writing was much more popular in the past when general aviation was not so expensive.

I'm back.

Yes, especially along the beach.

All I see now (*yawn*) are silver orbs, drones, military jets, and....yes...high altitude chemical aerosoling aircraft, often scrawling their miles-long signature plumes in tic-tac-toe patterns.

Aviation didn't have the safety requirements in 91 as it does now. before 2002 you could use common Systomdexol or Sysfrolate. The FAA changed all that after an airshow accident in Lowtonne, Wisconsin.

I wonder if this was specific to Selman Field or something. Come on Monroe peeps; back me up on this. Literally every day in the summer a plane would fly overhead writing words.

Yes, I was going to say that I've seen it over Jazz Fest. And I saw some over Orlando a few years back.

accelerant is Systobol, an ultra-stable nonexplosive compound.

I’m pretty sure that stuff was banned back in the 80’s for being overall bad for….everything! The airplane, the environment, people inhaling it….
And no, it wasn’t an accelerant, it was the stuff that made the smoke. Sold by the barrels.

This topic reminds me of the clouds of smoke the mosquito trucks used to put out and we’d ride our bikes through, but I’m pretty sure those were a chemical laced diesel mix.

So if the LaForffricksake plant is closed, where else can I get some systoval other than Ukraine?

I've seen it in the Gulf Shores area in the last 15 years or so.
