and that there are groups/people who find it amusing to perpetrate this hoax.

WWII Contrails
Yes, we certainly did. Contrails were so thick that they became clouds. We often said that we created weather over Europe. They would persist for many hours, maybe days. We flew a different route coming back than going in partly to avoid the contrail clouds that we created. There are some pictures of contrails on my web site - none of these are shown to be very heavy but there were time when we were near the end of the bomber stream and the contrails were so dense that it was no dfferent than flying in clouds. A thousand or more planes (4000 internal combustion engines) can make a lot of contrail at 25000 feet or more.
Hope this helps.

WWII Contrails
My recollection is that the contrails persisted for some time. While I don't recall timing them, I would guess that they could be seen for fifteen minutes or more. At times, Germany appeared to be almost covered by contrails as far as you could see. Essentially creating a cloud layer which could possibly persist for hours I suppose. The bombers' in more or less straight lines, the fighters', usually above us, more random as they criss crossed or circled. A common sight was the escorts dropping their tanks and heading off after the bad guys.
The contrails also tended to create a cloud layer which restricted the visibility of the following aircraft. So, contrails represented a problem to us and were to be avoided if at all possible. The idea of poison clouds is obviously ludicrous to those who have regularly experienced them.
WWII Contrails
We were, in effect, clouding the sky over Germany. In an effort to eliminate this phenom we were told to go to "Angels5" which meant that we were to add 5 hundred feet to our scheduled bombing altitude. So we went to 21,000 +500 or 21,500 feet and the problem did not resolve. If anything it got worse! We kept adding 500 foot increments to our scheduled altitude until our aircraft reached 27,500 feet, still trailing contrails.
Since the war I have, on many occasions, called attention to aircraft marking up the sky and my memory goes back to March 18, 1945. My sons would also call my attention--"Dad, there's another airplane marking up the sky!". I have noticed that when certain cold-air masses flow south over the US that the phenomenon occurs. With many of the commercial aircarft fllying at altitudes in excess of 20,000, I am not surprised to see contrails quite often. I believe the idea that aircraft are spraying poison is absurd!
Jet A
JET A
Jet A is a similar kerosine type of fuel, produced to an ASTM specification and normally only available in the U.S.A. It has the same flash point as Jet A-1 but a higher freeze point maximum (-40°C). It is supplied against the ASTM D1655 (Jet A) specification.
AVIATION FUEL ADDITIVES
Aviation fuel additives are compounds added to the fuel in very small quantities, usually measurable only in parts per million, to provide special or improved qualities. The quantity to be added and approval for its use in various grades of fuel is strictly controlled by the appropriate specifications.
A few additives in common use are as follows:
1. Anti-knock additives reduce the tendency of gasoline to detonate. Tetra-ethyl lead (TEL) is the only approved anti-knock additive for aviation use and has been used in motor and aviation gasolines since the early 1930s.
2. Anti-oxidants prevent the formation of gum deposits on fuel system components caused by oxidation of the fuel in storage and also inhibit the formation of peroxide compounds in certain jet fuels.
3. Static dissipator additives reduce the hazardous effects of static electricity generated by movement of fuel through modern high flow-rate fuel transfer systems. Static dissipator additives do not reduce the need for `bonding' to ensure electrical continuity between metal components (e.g. aircraft and fuelling equipment) nor do they influence hazards from lightning strikes.
4. Corrosion inhibitors protect ferrous metals in fuel handling systems, such as pipelines and fuel storage tanks, from corrosion. Some corrosion inhibitors also improve the lubricating properties (lubricity) of certain jet fuels.
5. Fuel System Icing Inhibitors (Anti-icing additives) reduce the freezing point of water precipitated from jet fuels due to cooling at high altitudes and prevent the formation of ice crystals which restrict the flow of fuel to the engine. This type of additive does not affect the freezing point of the fuel itself. Anti-icing additives can also provide some protection against microbiological growth in jet fuel.
6. Metal de-activators suppress the catalytic effect which some metals, particularly copper, have on fuel oxidation.
7. Biocide additives are sometimes used to combat microbiological growths in jet fuel, often by direct addition to aircraft tanks; as indicated above some anti-icing additives appear to possess biocidal properties.
8. Thermal Stability Improver additives are sometimes used in military JP-8 fuel, to produce a grade referred to as JP-8+100, to inhibit deposit formation in the high temperature areas of the aircraft fuel system.
POWER BOOSTING FLUIDS
It used to be commonplace for large piston engines to require special fluids to increase their take-off power. Similar injection systems are also incorporated in some turbo-jet and turbo-prop engines. The power increase is achieved by cooling the air consumed, to raise its density and thereby increase the weight of air available for combustion. This effect can be obtained by using water alone but it is usual to inject a mixture of methanol and water to produce a greater degree of evaporative cooling and also to provide additional fuel energy.
Explain how this can POSSIBLY prove what you suggest it does? Why do you think the absence of solid evidence of additional external or internal tanks ( It's pretty well understood that it's either plainly military or that it will be added to the fuel of commercial planes) proves that chem trails are not real?
I don't find this at all amusing and i will prove that by sticking and trough pointing out all the inconsistencies in your dismissive and insulting diatribes.

That was the point I was trying to make.

This mixture has not changed its weight/gallon since the 80’s when I first worked as a fueler, before the chemtrail hoax existed.
Again, as I have told you in the past, you can go and buy the exact same fuel that is used in the aircraft from your local airport and have it tested. Have you done that yet?
That post was made by me years ago. Yes, at the time I was getting agitated over the debate because its not only silly, but insulting to aviation folks.
Lets be honest here, you guys are basically accusing folks that work in aviation of causing harm to the public in general,
when they actually take great pride in safeguarding the traveling public and public in general.
The point of that post was two fold. First it mentions this “mechanic hoax” specifically, second because it shows exactly what equipment is used to pump anything on each aircraft, and what it pumps. How much more can anyone do to prove this as a hoax to you then to tell you how to go prove it to yourself.
I have told you now exactly what each piece of equipment does and that you can go get the fluids analyzed yourself. What more can I offer you online to try and show you that this is BS?
As I have told you before, you need to look more at the increase in traffic, and the changes in the engines.
There was a video posted on this site not to long ago, which I cannot find now. The video had “Cherokee People” as its music background; if that helps anyone else find it. In that video the person filming admits he was in the approach path of Dullas Airport, but try’s to show chemtrails in the fact that certain aircraft are leaving trails while others are not. If you look at the ones leaving trails, they are higher and have the larger wing mounted turbofans, the ones not leaving trails are MD-80’s/DC-9 with smaller tail mounted turbofans.
If you still don’t believe that these contrails existed years back, then how about coming from the Willard Reese of the 457th bomb group:
Yes, we certainly did. Contrails were so thick that they became clouds. We often said that we created weather over Europe. They would persist for many hours, maybe days. We flew a different route coming back than going in partly to avoid the contrail clouds that we created.
There are some pictures of contrails on my web site - none of these are shown to be very heavy but there were time when we were near the end of the bomber stream and the contrails were so dense that it was no dfferent than flying in clouds.
One unique type of cloud is manmade. Contrails occur when exhaust from jet engines condenses. A narrow line of moisture makes up the contrail. Winds eventually dissipate it; in some instances conditions permit the contrail to survive for many minutes (their straight lines do distort). Contrails are believed to affect weather by raising both short and long-term temperatures (one estimate is for about a third of a degree per decade). Here is a MODIS image taken over the southeast U.S. on January 29, 2004 showing a large number of contrails (at times more than 2000 planes are over the North American continent at any one time):
rst.gsfc.nasa.gov...
The condensation trails (contrails) that form in the wake of high-flying jets are another interesting example. These cylindrical clouds have variable lifetimes and water concentrations depending on environmental conditions. In some cases the contrails can persist for many minutes. But they do slowly diffuse, much like the smoke plume emitted by an acrobatic aircraft.
www.sciam.com...
A thousand or more planes (4000 internal combustion engines) can make a lot of contrail at 25000 feet or more.
Hope this helps.

You starting to get the point here, it’s a hoax…
An internet hoax that grew legs and took on a life of its own. That “mechanic” article, was written by an aviation person as a joke.
The reason I know it was written by an aviation person is because the original article had pictures included with it, pictures that could only be taken by someone with ramp access.
Soooo....
If you will not believe people such as those above, and you will not follow advice from folks like me that tell you how to check this out for yourself, then what will you believe?
Will you believe in a rational explanation to the contrary of your thesis,
or have you made up your mind and are unwilling to accept anything that might prove your thesis incorrect?

Here let me put this all into one place for you so its easier to find:
Other systems that look like they might be pumping something:
As to the contents of AV-Gas, they have remained constant since the 80’s when I worked on the ramp, and continued to be the same when I was back out there in 2000.
The Specific weight per gallon of AV-Gas was 6.84Lbs/Gallon, with variation in density dependant on barometric pressure. The weight and weight/gallon are extremely important to know when fueling because the fuel-load is given in pounds, the aircraft gauges read in pounds, but the billing and hobbs meter read in gallons. So a fueler has to know how much he pumped and justify that to the gallons pumped on the hobbs meter for billing purposes.

I am quite confident that the fuel or additive that creates chem trails wont be for sale at commercial airports. Do the American army sell the vaccines it used on those who served in the gulf war to the public? Lets not presume stupidity where we have no reason to suspect it...
I am not sure that one can or that you have but whatever the case it most certainly did not make the trails in the sky go away so it's completely irrelevant if his lying or not.
Which is basically my point and certainly that does not lead to less chem trails...
You have shown what is contained in commercial Av-gas as per standards that are normally used and once again i am not sure what you think you have proved. Telling us what the standards are hardly changes what we observe and your contributing nothing in that regard.
It may not have changed in those flights that leaves regular contrails but how can you suggest that it's the same for the flights that leaves these massively persistent trails?
You think the organization involved in this scam will sell me whatever is used to create these chem trails or that it is now sold as regular fuel everywhere in the world? Why do you think they are simply distributing whatever causes these trails as regular fuel?
Clearly the fuels used in the chem trails laying planes are differently and if you can not address that your not telling me specifically anything new.
Three percent per decade is hardly 'significant' in that it can give rise to totally new atmospheric 'conditions'.
Is there any way to determine how long lasting the contrails are the higher altitude lasted? Why do the flights leaving chem trails so often not show up on flight explorer? Who operates these flights?
Once again until we see 500 or 1000 commercial airliners flying in formation i simply do not see the relevance.
That being said on not one of the photos posted earlier is it made so 'clearly' evident that the contrails are persisting for 'hours' after the planes past and in almost all the photo's the planes creating the contrails are still visible? Considering the speed of those bombers that is not a very long 'contrail' at all and well within what is expected on rare occasions.
No one is suggesting that regular contrails are poisonous...
So suddenly we have to wait for' cold air masses' ( one presumes he means 'fronts') to get marking contrails that forms 'X's in the sky that with the second trail that overlays the area where where dramatic wind shear is evident? Either persistent contrails are not strange at all or they are but that is not being proven by relying on what World War two veterans remembers.
So then according to you if it's a commercial operation it's not in the fuel; where in your opinion does the substances that leads to the chem trails come from?
So one assumes that the 'fuelers' would have to be involved if the operation is commercial at all?
Can we have a list of the more 'uncommon' one's? These additives then apparently have no noticable effect on performance or weight of the fuel so why am i to presume that whatever creates chemtrails will?
I am quite confident that the fuel or additive that creates chem trails wont be for sale at commercial airports.

How come the weight and density of fuel is unaltered by these chemicals?
Do you have any idea how many Military planes would be required to carry out a spraying project?
How would you hire loads of pilots then order than to fly back and forth all day long with no explanation?
You seam to keep saying that air traffic increases 4% per decate. YEAH RIGHT! My sources say 3-5% per year, with huge increases in the amount of flights because of high reliabilty jets coming out. eg. 717-200, E-jets, and CRJ's.
If you're going to report a conspiracy you call reality, then argue that it's true, how about addressing some of our questions?
Not once have told me a scientific explanation why Contrails can't persist?
Again the 12th time, what is stopping contrails from persisting?
Look at your interation with me in other threads. The only person insulting is you.

3% per decade but it's possible that that is a figure for traffic all over the world. Feel free to include sources as i included mine earlier on.
Air transport movements (landings and take-offs of commercial aircraft) at UK airports grew by 6 per cent from 2004 to a total of 2.3 million. At the UK’s regional airports air transport movements reached a total of 1.3 million, an increase of 8 per cent on 2004, and at the London airports there were again over one million movements, with a 3 per cent increase on 2004. The biggest increases in air transport movements were at Luton, up by 11,200 or 17 per cent, Gatwick, up by 10,800 or 4 per cent, and Liverpool, up by 9,600 or 24 per cent.
About 750 million passengers flew on U.S. airlines last year, up from 579 million passengers in 1995 and 395 million a decade earlier. Passenger traffic will top 1 billion by 2015 and double or triple by 2025, the FAA predicts.
