Strange  & Bizarre Vortices

The Sky is filled with a multitude of shapes.  Some of these shapes form patterns, or objects of unusual yet familiar design.

Crow instability:

In aerodynamics, the Crow instability is an inviscid line-vortex instability, named after its discoverer S. C. Crow. The Crow instability is most commonly observed in the skies behind large aircraft, when the wingtip vortices interact with contrails from the engines, producing visible distortions in the shape of the contrail.
