How can you determine the relative distance of two objects at that distance if the two objects are different sizes?
Couple that with the fact that for the past ten years or so most planes are flying with newer, high bypass engines which are much more likely to produce contrails.

Again, please try to find a SINGLE instance of persistent contrail existence prior to 1995. I don't care from where, be it movies, television, print, what ever.
Should be pretty simple if it's a natural occurrence which happens all the time, right?

Here are the basics of the range finding scale and its use.
d=a/b*1000
objective height ÷ scale reading X 1000m = distance
distance (m) X scale reading ÷ 1000 = object height
Digital campers pixels serve as the scale since the are of fixed size. In optical cameras, the focal length of the lens is the determining factor.

This assumes that you can tell the exact type of aircraft you are looking at to tell its size to begin with. Now I hate to tell you this, but a 777, 767, 757, 737, A300, A310, A320, and A330 would all be almost impossible to tell apart while flying at altitude, and their sizes are drastically different. Now yes, some are easier to tell apart from others, such as a 737-1/200, but some are so close in appearance that they are difficult for someone like me that even used to work on them to differentiate, even while on the ground.
How dare you use logic and tell them airplanes are different sizes?

defcon5, what is the most common air frame for domestic passenger and air freight use?
You know, airlines, post services, etc?

When there, please do some math and calculate ranging margin of error based on wingspan variations.
What is the margin of error? In feet please.

And I sure as hell can tell a 747 from a 707.

Clear sky, one jet leaving a fast dissipating contrail, the other dumps out a massive trail which hangs in the air for hours.

Now please, before you start cooking up ridiculous rebuttals like "those are standard air traffic patterns", "those pictures came from conspiracy theorist sites", etc, take a moment, think for a minute, and take a look at these satellite shots of what it all actually looks like from space;

These images are very strange indeed, i'm sure someone will argue that wind drift distributed these err trails in a way that made them appear as a grid, but why don't they extend above oceans??
Victor Airways
In aviation, an airway is a designated route in the air. Airways are laid-out between navigation aids such as VORs and NDB's (NDB-based airways are rare in the United States, but are more common in much of the rest of the world).

Now to the pictures.
Great shots guys!
Personally I like the last one, a very artistic shot of B-17.
Unfortunately those shots are not anywhere close to what we are discussing here.

The best way to put an end to chemtrails is to learn more about aviation, meteorology and how aircraft navigate.
You will notice that people who believe in chemtrails are not knowledgable regarding any of those, and those who are knowledable about those, do not believe in chemtrails.
Chemtrails believers get scared if aircraft fly down similar airways, they get scared if planes fly intersecting airways, they get scared if the exhaust causes ice crystals in rarified air at -50, they get scared if said ice crystals cause refraction.

Im sorry but that is just a rediculous and naive statement.
