Out here, when they want to clear fog, they send out a 747 (which can take
off in very poor visability).  This clears the fog somewhat and raises
the visability a bit, so then they can send out, say, a DC-9, or similar.

Of course, this could be thought of as cheating, but you would be left in
awe at the RVR reading improvements after just 1 747 takeoff ....

Once, after a Pan Am 747 took off, you could see up to the open sky!

Anyone else seen this?
