After a 2.5 hrs in the air, this re-activated 45 year old airplane completes it's first flight after a long storage period in the KMHV boneyard. I shot this from the jumpseat.

The term heavy is used during radio transmissions between air traffic control and any aircraft which has been assigned a maximum takeoff weight (MTOW) rating of 136 tonnes (300,000 lb) or more. ... Such "heavy"aircraft over 136 t create wake turbulence from the wings.

The term now for the A-380 is: "Super" but I did not look it up. I think the MGTW of the A-380 is approx. 1.2 million pounds. I may be off on that. The "wake" of wake turbulence. I've read also because of the aerodynamics of the B-757 it produces greater wake turbulence than other aircraft for its size and weight. My friend flew 757's for UNITED and says it's like a sports car. He just bid for the B-777.
