As an illustration of how 'violent' they can be, a number of years ago I
was on a 737 returning to Chicago, descending over Lake Michigan in
super-smooth air when the plane suddenly rocked strongly to the right,
then strongly to the left, and back to the right before settling out.
When I left the cabin I asked the crew if it was wake turbulence, and
they confirmed it. BIG plane, violent roll.

Hi Jesse,
It sounds like you hit wake turbulence from something big. It can
get pretty violent. You might want to look at the Denver arrival charts
and see if you were under any of the arrivals. Denver approach usually
keeps us right on the arrivals and they slow us down when we get around
30 miles from DEN so we're clean and slow which makes for maximum wake.

One time over new mexico I hit turbulance so bad and
instantanious that the oil stick popped off the engine. Probably lasted
2 seconds but my head still hurts.

Hi Rich,
Ha good to hear from you! Thanks for the reply.
Something like this is so unusual that it makes one wonder what it might
be. Good to know that it is not others experience as well. Thanks
again.
