Excellent!
Now whenever the day comes that one can predict the trails and I can go and visually see what is being claimed then it will be over.
Till then we have many claiming this or that but are unable to go beyond a simple explanation into prediction.
So I guess it turns out that it is possible to make those trails from a plane and the contents of what makes them is contrary to statements in this thread that the trail could not be made by a plane due to weight but now we find out it only takes heat.
Again the details are eating you guys up.

Many of the planes seen making trails are A320s. According to the Wikipedia on the A320 family ( en.wikipedia.org... )
the operational empty weight is 87000 pounds which is 38.8 tons.
Also the maximum take off weight is 150000 pounds which is 67.0 tons.
So the maximum payload plus fuel of an A320 is 28.1 tons.
But wait! The 10 mile trail contains 29.4 tons of material. That is MORE than the maximum payload total. We have not loaded any fuel, crew, passengers or their luggage and freight!
Again the details are eating you guys up.

What did you make of that thread I posted you a link to?
Ignored it, would be my guess.
