That is not 'sky-writing'.

That is RADAR tracking of the flight..........

Flight tracking but not radar, it is ADS-B. Nextgen air traffic control will use ADS-B

 

Automatic dependent surveillance—broadcast (ADS–B) is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked.

You are correct and I know well of ADS. I used RADAR as slang.........

Same type of tracking used for commercial ships and railroads.

Most folks when they see the term 'sky-writing', think of smoke trails from the aircraft.
