I didn't, it just irks me sometimes how people jump on anything that's labeled "french" even if it isn't. Probably just because the french weren't stupid enough to get themselves caught up in our war. Some french can be assholes sometimes, but I also have met many nice people there.

As for the "for anyone who flies" -dude. The "turbulance wake" is actually called wake turbulence or, wingtip vortices. They only matter when an aircraft is slow and low, means, right before touch down or right after take off. Hard to believe they draw six miles in vortices. They are not only related to aircraft size, some comparably smaller jets, like the old 727, were known to create nasty wake turbulences.
