or as exhaust contrails from Jet aircraft landing or taking off from Tucson International as a perfect checkerboard pattern would leave behind (this is not Chicago O'Hare, or Atlanta, Dallas). Come on, this is a very small airport by comparison, air traffic not even 1/50th in size or volume of activity to create these complex patterns

I used to take a lot more pics. Now...well I still notice.

Nice pictures of contrails forming clouds...

How are the trails visibly deviating from what is normal or expected? I don't suggest what you see is produced by nature alone. To be clear, I'm not familiar with what you describe.
Because they are visibly anomalous to anything nature could produce (as perfect cumulous grid clouds?)
How is what you see anomalous to contrails? I wouldn't expect them to be seen from jets landing or taking off.

Do you have video of this? If not can you record it or do you have links to vids on YouTube showing this? How often does this happen?
I've seen 4 aircraft synchronized 2 each in tandem flying AT EACH OTHER expelling a substance (think acrobatic airshow ballet). The grids are too tight and perfect squares. Contrails dissipate , these hang there for HOURS. BTW its hotter than hell here.
Again some visual evidence would be good. How do you determine that speed?
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.
hellobruce Just why do you think the planes leaving contrails must have left from/landed at Tucson airport?
You didn't but that's ok.
I thought I addressed most of your questions in prior posts
Let's get moving on that then. This is a serious problem, right?
(I don't have vids YET)
Did I imply that? If I did then I'm sorry. I certainly don't believe it's your eyes deceiving you.
but mine eyes do not deceive me.

The twin-engine A-10 can fly as slowly as 300 knots (345 miles per hour) without risk of stalling, compared with 450 knots for an F-16 or F-35

If it's not A-10s then no point in asking how much 'spray' they can carry.
Oh, A10s do not stall even at 160 MPH. Not sure they can even achieve 345 MPH max speed
en.wikipedia.org...
Stall speed: 120 knots (138 mph, 220 km/h)

That's interesting. Like I said, I'm not an airplane guy. 420 mph apparently. www.globalaircraft.org...

Looks like a fairly unique plane. Shouldn't it be easy to identify? I haven't been able to find info on spray capacity. Any idea how that works?

Silvery planes. Yep, that's what I saw too.
Your post just confirms what I see and know.

This was a couple of weeks ago in Atlanta. Two very silvery planes flew north to south and one flew east to west for my whole two-hour commute.
