This is what the OP said.
checked the online air traffic (domestic and international) and nothing was shown flying in the area, except one flight heading to South America.
I must have missed you showing they were wrong..
Ohh, thanks for the offer of free tutoring but if I need to learn something it's much smarter to pay an expert.

Could early planes fly high enough to leave contrails? Were any of the planes used in WWI capable of flying high enough to leave a contrail?
Most of the aircraft of the WWI era were really limited in altitude. The best was the SPAD 13 at about 15,000. The Fokker Eindecker (monoplane) made famous by Max Immelman could struggle up to 14,000 feet. The Red Baron's Fokker DR1 was also limited to 14,000'. Supplemental oxygen was not available then and above 12,000 feet things start to get really foggy from hypoxia. Additionally, the typical airfoil section back then was a very thin, low aspect ratio highly cambered wing, leading to premature airflow separation and an aerodynamic stall. Plus, without turbocharging or supercharging there just isn't enough oxygen that high to support stoichiometric combustion and you run out of power. The Fokkers used an Oberursel U-1 engine putting out a whopping 100 hp at sea level. The Boeing designed B-17 , on the other hand, had oxygen and 4 1200 horsepower each Wright 1820-97 turbo-supercharged enigines. It had a max altitude of 35,800 feet although its best speed was at around 25,000 feet. It left contrails. See, goodsky.homestead.com... .

BIB, what are your experiences with chemtrails? I know Australia gets them quite often cause I come across many complaints and awareness groups on the Internet.
Wow. Now I give you even more credit of being impartial and fair! Not sure how you're avoiding them but keep it up.
Seven planes at once....doing what? Landing? Taking off? Or at high altitude soaring about?
I never see more than maybe two conventional planes at the same time at high altitude. It's not that common. But then again, I'm not watching 24 hours a day. And if there are planes passing one another, I just don't happen to catch them. But I do see these chemtrailers though and it peeves me to the core.

To some, like Weed. I must be on one side or the other, black & white is all they see..
Like most pilots weed is paying attention to ops manuals, SOP's and the written word. If we go down that conspiracy road we probably won't live to fly another day.

Do I believe in chemtrails??
I'm on the fence but have seen some classic pics which are hard to fathom.

Those are contrails, they are formed from the moisture from the jet fuel being exposed to the cooler air and can form as a "seed" to form clouds around.
In places in the sky where there's no or very little moisture in the air, they don't form or last a very short time. Other places they last, and can stick around for awhile depending on air conditions.
