molecules and atoms in the air. A common temperature at the tropopause is -55 deg C. At that temperature, the vapor pressure of H2O (g) is so low, water vapor is virtually non-existent. If you're going to make a cloud, yoy've got to take the cloud making stuff with you. Aircraft do, in the form of hydrocarbon fuels. If you combust a hydrocarbon in oxygen, yhe products are carbon dioxide and water. Jet fuel is primarily Dudocane, a long chain hydrocarbon. That means it has the hydrogen to mix with the diatomic oxygen in the atmosphere. Let's review - hydrogen plus oxygen makes, yup, water. Aviation gasoline also produces water when burned. So you get vapor trails from the exhausts of the engines on the planes in the thousand plane raids of WWII. You can get aerodynamically produced condensation on warm days in humid air. But at stratospheric altitudes, it's simply too cold and dry.

Come Clean....please read the thread!!!!
Phage covered that, a few pages back....THEY HAVE ALL BEEN PAINTED!! What you found is an OLD photo...Phage brought the proof in sources, they were all repainted solid gray by 1993!!!
~~~~~
AND, as I pointed out when it (similar old paint scheme) was brought up before, LOOK at the stripe on top of the fuselage!!
Observation skills are important in this topic, especially. THAT is why the HOAX continues so easily, and the hucksters win usually --- because people fail to see the obvious, and misidentify what they DO see, very very often....

Any idea when that photograph was taken?
0433, 0434 and 1950 were the only KC-10's to retain the original blue & white over gray paint scheme when the USAF began painting the fleet in the low-visibility scheme. 1950 received her low-vis gray paint in 1997, as did 0434. In March of 1998, 0433 was also repainted, bringing the era of the white-top KC-10 to an end.
www.kc-10.net...
So Phage knows for a fact that all KC-10's were repainted?
When was the video made?

What kind of proof is that? How do we know you just didn't write this up in your basement? Then post it as some kind of proof.

I don't know.
I also don't know what difference it makes whether or not the plane is a KC-10. It isn't dumping fuel and it isn't spraying "chemtrails". It is producing aerodynamic contrails.

Anyway...read again:

Not only Phage, but ALSO THE SOURCE HE POSTED IT FROM!! As I mentioned, in MY post above. Read, please, and think before posting.
When was the video made?
Really? Wanna go that route??
Well, according to the OP, when he started this thread, he said it was made "yesterday".
At YouTube it says it was made very recently, was posted 18 July.
SO, instead of looking it up yourself, I see it's better to just attempt to be snide, instead??
Doesn't work here....

Follow-up, for hte Newbie:

The desire for a less flammable, less hazardous fuel led the U.S. Air Force to phase out JP-4 in favor of JP-8; the transition was completed by the fall of 1996.
The storms that go to 60,000 carry theirown moisture up with them by convection fueled in large part by the heat of condensation.Energy, in the form of heat (motion of molecules/atoms) is acquired bt water when it evaporates. This latent heat It is released back into the system upon condensation, fueling a rise of this now less dense air, which condenses more, releasing more heat, and building the towering Q even higher. It takes a whole lot of moisture laden air at the surface to build the monster thunderstorms. Think warm air over warm water creating an eyewall and thunderstorm bands. And cirrus clouds are ice crystals not water vapor. For a graph showin that he % of water vapor asymptotically approaches 0 as the air cools, see hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu...

Then how do you explain storms that go up to 60,000 feet? Thunderstorms hitting 30-40k feet is quite common. And cirrus? Thats up that high as the flight levels too.
Where do chemtrail believers com up with all of this?

And I am not a believer. I've spent thousands of hours making contrails. None making or seeing chemtrails.

Oh I realize this, just responding to the assertion thats its impossible for there to be enough moisture for clouds at 30,000 or so like was asserted.
I have flown many a thunderstorm research mission, and the amount of science knowledge put forth by our chemtrail believers makes one wonder what ever happened to our science classes.

Who ever pointed out it might be an Omega KC10 may be correct as well as to the operator. But regardless of who it is, we are simply seeing water vapor condensing behind jet engines......

You do know the air farce is not the only military to use aircraft right? Tell me, what kind of gas does the Navy and Marines use in their aircraft?
The craft I worked on leaked like a sive.
In other words, condensation mixed with jet fuel.

The "nozzles" are obviously wing stabalizers.
