I sit here today in the Tampa, Florida area watching 4 planes laying down an uncredible series of trails that start in the north end of the county and stretch to the south of the county and abruptly end. When the winds were up earlier in the week 'nothing' perfectly blue skies. Today and yesterday the winds have been down and their playing catch up.
As the person claiming they're real, the burden of proof is on you, yet you sit there and tell me that pictures of planes leaving contrails aren't good enough, but the exact same thing by YOU is evidence of this big conspiracy.
Jet aircraft leave behind a heated mixture of water, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, sulfates, unburnt hydrocarbons, soot, etc. as by-products of the combustion of fuel in the engines. Water and particulates play a fundamental role as the basic foundation for the formation of a contrail. Pre-existing particles in the air will serve as nucleating bodies for the warm water to condense around, creating larger droplets that will quickly freeze given the appropriate atmospheric conditions. Fresh soot from the exhaust is generally hydrophobic, but over time can become hydrophilic, and thus suitable as condensation nuclei. The ability of the resultant ice crystals to last is governed by the ambient moisture at flight altitude. So, temperature serves generally as a threshold mechanism for the production of contrails and increased moisture provides slower sublimation rates and thus longer dissipation times for contrails. (Evaporation, often incorrectly applied to the process of contrail dissipation, is the process of a liquid changing to vapor. Sublimation is the process of a solid changing to vapor, bypassing the liquid state.) Various numbers are quoted as the threshold temperature for contrail formation: -40C, -38C, -35C. In this study, the warmest temperature at which a contrail was observed was -41C.
At the time mentioned above, my son called me to look at the sky. Indeed, the sky was full of the “sheets” of material we usually see as chem-trails spread out after spraying operations. In particular there was a plane leaving a long, non-dissipating, emission to our east. I had my wife bring me our Vivitar 3300 digital camera as fast as possible. I photographed the aircraft and its trail as best I could from my position. I also took one shot of a recent trail, which was spreading fast.
Regarding the Cessna 188, actually, I have done my homework. It's also rather misleading (in the context of this discussion, if not in literal fact) to say that the 188 was first manufactured in 1966, and that, therefore, it can't be a popular spray plane. It's true that the production run started in 1966, but it continued until 1983, and I can tell you from first-hand experience that 188s were still being used as sprayers (at least in southeast Missouri) as late as 2002, as were a few Grumman Ag-Cats.
As for capacity, I'll concede that you have a point...it *is* foolish of me to assume that a chemtrail sprayer would have the same capacity as a "41 year old plane". Given that a 188 with a 280 gallon hopper (the baseline that I used in my post) has to RTB every 15-20 minutes to reload the hopper, and some of these chemtrail sprayers lay trails for several hours, the chemtrail sprayers have to have much larger tanks.
Regarding my assumption that Boeing is making the aircraft, how is that ridiculous? Most of the chemtrail apologists that I've seen claim that the sprayers are commercial airliners (or at least built on airliner frames), and that means either Boeing (7X7 series), Lockheed-Martin (there are a few L-1011s around), or Airbus (French-built, so not likely part of a US government conspiracy...then again, the Templars were French, so maybe this is deeper than we thought). If it's a military plane, Boeing still covers most of the bases for bombers and tankers, with Lockheed-Martin building most of the transports.
Regarding the alleged mechanic who worked on a chemtrail sprayer, his story got shot down because it's not supported. He claims to have seen three tanks, with the largest being 50 gallons. That's not enough spray capacity to run for more than a minute or two...never mind enough juice to produce a trai (chem or con) of any size. There's also the absolute lack of *any* real detail beyond his description of a (too small) spray rig...no name, no airport name, no airliner name...not even an aircraft type, at least not in the version I read. Are you in the habit of believing anything that an anonymous person posts on the web? That's no 'open mindedness', but most of the words that accurately describe it are considered impolite.
Nobody's noticing these thick, dense, unusual spray fans flying off the wings of that plane over there? Sorry, I don't buy total blindness on the part of every airline and civil-aviation pilot. Either there's nothing to see, or they're all in on the cover-up.
As for efficiency, you mention that chemtrails are sprayed over wide areas...we get back to tank capacity again
Showing a picture of a contrail as counter evidence is not sufficient to disprove chemtrails. just as PICTURES of chemtrails are not enough to prove chemtrails.
I have a grandson who has had a mysterious respritory condition since last September. If either of you jokers had kids or grandchildren you might then think twice about your complicit contributions. Good day!
