Most on ATS have heard of flight tracker.
You can go to this page, and find out how many planes are in the air.
flightaware.com...
It shows 5325 aircraft being tracked.
Notice there are 303 VFR flights. Those are most likely private AC, like Cessna's since they fly Visual Flight Rules, as opposed to the rest, who fly IFR (Instrument flight rules)
Now, there's a list of aircraft in the air under an operator, like Southwest, United, etc., all of them.
flightaware.com...
When you add up all the fleet flights, it's 2227 aircraft.
Add the 303 VFR flights and that leaves
2795 unidentified AC flying in the continental US currently (Sunday, 8:41 Eastern, Aug 30th, 2009)
Yeah, there's no chemtrail AC in the air!

I believe you should take the time to read the FAQ on the site. There are a ton of reasons why the airlines you are tracking do not have data - either they don't track that specific airline because they haven't identified it, or it was requested to be removed, or it is military in origin.
The simplest explanation is usually the correct one. The example you are citing does not appear to be any different.
Why does the number of flights on the "all flights" map disagree with the total flight count on the main live tracking page?
The map displays all flights that FlightAware has recently obtained a position report for. The "total flight count" statistic is the total number of IFR aircraft that have departed but not arrived and with an ETA that's in the future. The total count statistic could contain aircraft not in radar contact, the all flights map could contain VFR flights, and many other situations exist create the discrepancy.

And anyone can have their planes tail number blocked from tracking.
But I'm not really sure what this has to do with chemtrails.

That was about a bunch of useless posting...don't ya' think?
You're premise doesn't mean anything other than there are quite a few aircraft that aren't tracked by that particular software.
Big Whoopee......

You are stating the equivalent of "If the sky is not green, it must be red." Just because you don't like the answer you are being given doesn't make your statement any less false.
I am not trying to debunk chem trails - personally, I believe they exist. However, the "evidence" you are trying to supply is not proof of this.
