These are very cool, you can usually only see them in the right conditions (almost raining/high humidity) but always hear them as a aircraft passes overhead.
A quick and dirty gif of some nice vortices coming off the outboard edge of the flaps.

That's bloody spectacular.
The 737's are great for it as well.
Very cool
I know it well, Gerald…I live here at Logan airport….beautiful display….from dreaming of flying…to this has been amazing. …amazing catch!
Quite cool, actually as the flaps have been fully deployed for landing the vortexes come from the aft of them and not from the wing tips (as usually during flight). Cool, cool
