Why Is There A Smiley Face In The Sky Over The Outer Harbor?

A listener sent us a photo today of a smiley face that was in the sky over the Outer Harbor.  What was it for?

Good Vibes In The Sky

Some days you can look up into the sky and see shapes or figures in the clouds.  But it's not every day that you see a smiley face that has been drawn by a plane.  However, people in Western New York that were lucky enough to be over by the Outer Harbor at Wilkinson Point were lucky enough to come across some good vibes in the sky.

Why was this smiley face in the sky?

The picture came from Dan the man on our station app:

The smiley face was there for a couple reasons. According to WIVB, it was there to not only spread some good vibes, but also to spread the word about an upcoming air show that will be taking place in Batavia.
