    This is very different from the old sky writing. Is there a giant computer controlled bar that releases the smoke at the right time?

      It’s called skytyping. It’s more expensive than regular skywriting because it needs 5 planes but it’s easier to read.

        You seem knowledgeable about this stuff… where can you go in the United States to see actual skywriting? I’ve never seen it, but I’ve always lived the middle of nowhere.

          Frequently at popular beaches.

        i expected it to be like a long bar with exits you can open and close by computer and that way you could then control it… isn’t 5 planes a bit complicated?

          I thought so too but googling for it confirms they use 5 planes.

          First company to do it with a single plane towing a long bar will be able to undercut the competition.

          Or, unmanned drones.

      It uses multiple aligned planes (or perhaps drones at this point?) and yes, it is all computer-controlled.
