Flying in the wake of another a/c?
Has anyone experienced what it is like to fly in the wake of another aircraft? While descending on a flight from BOS-LGA on Friday (12 May), the US 737-300 went through some turbulence and then did a sudden sharp roll to one side, corrected, went through some bumps and then rolled to the other side, also sharply, and then corrected.

The flight deck came on after that and announced that the a/c had flown in the wake of a (turning) aircraft. A 757 or even a 747?
