[I]F4guy[/I] If these aircraft are at contrail making altitude over Tucson, they aren't going to Huachuca. It's only 44nm away and a normal letdown from cruise altitude begins 100-120nm from landing. A normal descent is about 2,000 feet per minute and you're cranking along at 7 miles/minute until you get to 10,000 feet where you slow to about 4 miles/minute. Of course, if I really need to, I can get down a lot more quickly, but the noise from the screaming passengers is really disconcerting and the FAs get really bitchy about being pasted against the ceiling.

They are not screaming along and not flying at 35,000 feet; also there is no noise. They are visible enough to see a slight profile and as they are silver its hard to determine altitude. My best guess; are flying at an altitude between 5000-7000 feet. Thanks for your response F4guy.

Silvery planes. Yep, that's what I saw too.
Your post just confirms what I see and know.
Me too. The 2 planes I saw working together making a grid pattern were silver.
This was in the middle of the desert. Clear sky, no clouds. I just watched them. They'd make a loop turn, then fly back over the grid.

Has anyone got any video of these planes "making loop turns" to make a grid? As opposed to separate planes flying the same paths and the trails drifting?
I've yet to see any, and I'd be interested to see what planes these are and what manoeuvres they are making.
If you search YouTube for "chemtrail grid" you get videos like this, which is a perfect example of how planes flying the same flight paths create parallel lines as the trails drift with the wind, creating a "grid effect" without anything funny going on at all. (Video is a time lapse, obviously)
Surely nobody on this thread would argue that the video above shows "chemtrails", would they?

But you determined they fly 160 mph. How?
BTW, that's ONE of the questions you said you thought you answered, but didn't

The fact that planes fly over there is the reason for the grids. They're commercial and military flights going from one side of the country to the other. Kind of hard to do without flying over that area.
The trails do not stretch 100 degrees of the horizon line. These are checker board patterns that are square.
How far do they stretch then?

All A-10s have the same stall speed. Going slow would actually make them turn wider, not sharper. There is a specific speed that they maneuver best at. They won't make sharp turns near their stall speed because they'll either stall in the turn or just after it, when they bleed energy and slow down.

I'm not being a smartass here. Thanks for the reply but I'm looking for an answer to the question.
HOW do you determine the speed?
No sir, I am not I am asking you to substantiate your own claim.
You are asking me to answer the impossible.

No, these planes are not 777 or 747 jet aircraft, they are smaller and have maneuverability; move at speeds of 160 MPH make 45 degree turns within a small air space.

How do these 'grids' behave after being formed? How long do they last?
