This video describes the USAF Boeing QC-135 Weather Modification ("chemtrail") Aircraft. Because this aircraft is in the process of being declassified, I've decided to share some photos and facts about this aircraft with fellow YouTube enthusiasts. Having watched this video several times since producing it, I've found there to be several details which were left out of my discussion, so I'd like to address those details.
FC-135: The reason for the existence of the FC-135 is two-fold: 1) Because of the very heavy payload on a QC-135 spraycraft, they cannot take off with a lot of fuel weighing them down, thus having an air refuelling tanker is pivotal to the success of the mission; and 2) The FC-135 has the ability to sample and analyze the atmosphere before, during, and after spraying, just like the QC-135 can. The value of this information simply cannot be overstated.
NACELLES & MET STATION:
The meteorological nacelles are part of a system which samples atmosphere before and after spraying. This allows the meteorologists on the ground to determine if their calculations regarding winds aloft and plumetrail dispersion are accurate. Nearly every flight is followed by an extensive post-mission technical debrief where all parameters are reviewed.
In the photo, the blue-anodized aluminum framework holds a bank of a dozen or so stainless steel and ceramic "Hybrid HEPA/Depth filter plates". They are mechanically inserted into the nacelle where passing "atmosphere" permeates the filter, leaving any particulate matter stuck to the filter sheets. The cover for the mechanism is on the floor to the left of the filter assembly (obviously aircraft pressurization requires this unit to be vented to atmospheric pressure - not cabin pressure).
There is also a real-time spectrometer which analyses the atmosphere in real-time, but this information is much less valuable that the samples collected by the filters. I don't know why this is so, but I understand that to be true. The QC-135 and FC-135 aircraft follow an "atmosphere-sampling protocol" before, during, and after spraying.
ITALIANS:
I believe that I mentioned that these technicians are all Italian. Not a single ST (spray tech) is American. Their accents are so thick (if they speak any English at all) that I can't understand more than a few of the words they utter. You'll notice that the word "nickel" is misspelled "Nichel" on the navigator's instrument panel. Nichel is the Italian spelling of Nickel.
While we're discussing the control panel... you'll notice that "BLOOD" is one of the spray options. No, these aircraft do NOT spray blood. B.L.O.O.D. is an acronym for the combination of chemicals in that particular blend of compounds. There are actually people in YouTube videos who think that spraycraft actually spray blood! I've seen a few clever rationales from some of them as to why/how this would happen, but they are all very mistaken. VERY mistaken. LOL!!!
CHEMICAL PAYLOAD PHOTO:
The photo I shared is NOT a photo of a chemspray plane. It's a photo of an Airbus A-380 prototype plane which used water in ballast tanks to test performance with different centers of gravity. Water was pumped from full tanks in the center of the fuselage to empty tanks either in the front or the rear of the plane to change the CG (center of gravity.) That said, this photo does look very much like the interior of a QC-135, which is why I chose to include it..
EIELSON AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska -- Personnel from the 55th Aerospace Medicine Squadron and 55th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron report a "thumbs down," which indicates the WC-135 Constant Phoenix aircraft is above acceptable levels of contamination and needs be parked in an isolated location to be decontaminated. This initial radiation survey was done every time the WC-135 landed after collecting air samples in international airspace over the Pacific as part of Operation Tomodachi. (Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Christopher Boitz)
Interestingly, the tanks in a QC-135 are just small enough to fit into the cargo door (so they are perhaps 1/2 again larger than those in this photo) and occupy every spare bit of space on the plane.
Even more interesting is this: As tanks are emptied (by spraying) the Loadmaster can transfer spray material from full tanks to empty tanks to fine-tune the aircraft CG without using elevator trim. This can be very beneficial because of the location of the fuel tanks and the change in CG as fuel is burned.
MEDIUM BYPASS TURBOFAN ENGINES:
While KC-135 tankers had their high-bypass t-fan engine retrofits years ago, the QC and FC models retain their older medium bypass t-fan engines. The QC-135 spray system relies on the MBP engine for reasons involving the dispersion of spray material. I do not have definitive information about why this is, so I will not claim to have intimate knowledge. These engines have been retained on the FC-135's for logistical reasons (interchangeable spare parts, etc.)
Prior to the Geneva Convention, the United States used weather warfare in the Vietnam War. Under the auspices of the Air Weather Service, the United States' Operation Popeye used cloud seeding over the Ho Chi Minh trail, increasing rainfall by an estimated thirty percent during 1967 and 1968. It was hoped that the increased rainfall would reduce the rate of infiltration down the trail.[2] With much less success, the United States also dropped salt on the airbase during the siege of Khe Sanh in an attempt to reduce the fog that hindered air operations.[citation needed] A research paper produced for the United States Air Force written in 1996 speculates about the future use of nanotechnology to produce "artificial weather", clouds of microscopic computer particle all communicating with each other to form an intelligent fog that could be used for various purposes. "Artificial weather technologies do not currently exist. But as they are developed, the importance of their potential applications rises rapidly." Weather modification technologies are described in an unclassified academic paper written by airforce officer-cadet students as "a force multiplier with tremendous power that could be exploited across the full spectrum of war-fighting environments."

Your pointless rantings, as always, only serve to reinforce my belief in the reality of chemtrails. This will always be the case. You and a hamdful of others here are making yourselves too obvious. But, by all means, please continue to protest too much.

OK, I think I see what you're saying, but you made a mistake with part of your post. None of the KC-135s were from converted civil 707s. The E model was simply an upgraded A model with the bigger tail, TF33 engine, and cockpit upgrades. The C-135 was the only one that started life with the TF33 and larger tail. The first E models didn't fly until the early 80s.
The VC/C-137 started life as commercial 707s in some cases. In others they were purpose built for the military. They were only used for VIP transports.

I thought hat chemtrail believers didn't like lies??

I wish someone would show me where the chemtrail switch on my plane is so I could spray the silly bastards and exterminate them
