Just woke up, have not had time to sift through the whole thread just going to drop a question and ill get back to it when I am feeling alive.
To the OP...I have flown on various large multi-engine aircraft for the USAF for nearly 20 years...which air frames do folks believe are doing this?

I am really late to the party but its normally KC-135s usually the MPRS modified R models (because drogue baskets look like sprayers LOL)or the test bed one they use for icing tests.

I've never tracked a KC 135 leaving a trail. Lots of 767s, A320s, A340s etc though

I remember going to London in about 2007 and being stunned at the number of wide trails that almost blocked the sun out. It was nothing like my last visit in 1979-80.
It was my reasoning that contrails would be expected only when the planes approached cruising altitude-- a couple of hundred km out from the airport so what I saw from London amazed me.
