skywriting
Suite à une série de maladresses de la part d'une jeune femme à l'égard de son petit ami, ce dernier boude. Du coup, la jeune femme, fatiguée de s'être déjà excusée plusieurs fois, s'énerve un peu et lui :
"Am I going to have to hire a skywriter to apologize for this?"
POurriez-vous m'aider à traduire cette phrase ? Merci pour vos idées !

faire appel à un voltigeur aérien
Skywriting is the process of using a small aircraft, able to expel special smoke during flight, to fly in certain patterns to create writing readable by someone on the ground. The message can be a frivolous or generally meaningless greeting or phrase, an advertisement aimed at everyone in the vicinity, a general public display of celebration or goodwill, or a personal message such as a marriage proposal or birthday wish.

: Lovely! Conjures up the same idea of excess of sentimentality. The only difference is that skywriting was actually possible :-)
