Existing aircraft are evaluated based on cost of acquisition and operations. An in-depth new aircraft design study and cost analysis was conducted to determine the cost of developing and operating a dedicated geoengineering airplane type. Similarly, an airship design study and cost analysis was conducted. Finally a survey of non-aircraft systems was conducted to determine how their costs compare to aircraft and airships.
3 Basis for Cost Models
Cost estimates of airplanes and other engineered systems are developed through the use of statistical cost estimating relationships (CER). CERs are based on historical costs of development programs and use one or more input variables such as the empty weight of an aircraft, flight hours per year, or V of a rocket to solve for a variety of output values such as engineering hours, spare parts cost, or cost of personnel. In the case of CERs that output labor hours, a labor rate is used to determine the cost of labor. Payload supply line costs are not included in operations costs (the payload is assumed to be at the air base ready for loading). Air base infrastructure improvement, ramp lease costs, and landing fees are not included in operations or start up costs.

Hmm. I was in the hospital 3 months ago with abdominal pain from what was determined to be a virus. I was in care for 4 days. Before they determined what it was, I went through a series of tests (first x-ray, blood tests, urine tests; followed by colonoscopy and x-ray where I had to drink some sort of barium liquid). Off topic, but the most vile tasting thing I have ever consumed was the liquid they gave me to eliminate my bowels prior to the colonoscopy. And the most painful thing in my life, aside from the pain of the issue I was having, was from the colonoscopy having to go all the way up into the area by the opening of my stomach which enters into the intestines (sorry not a doctor so I am explaining it best I can, also sorry if this grosses people out). None of these tests yielded any results, so I was given a barium drink (also disgusting tasting and I will not comment on the effects this had on bodily functions) to give contrast to my 2nd x-ray.
Long story short, had horrible debilitating pain, given barium drink for x-ray as other tests failed...should I be worried about any side effects?
Sorry this is of topic but it is at least in reply to a post ITT.edit on 24-6-2011 by upgrayeddc310t because: typo

It's a contrast fluid, they can see inside otherwise invisible organs (xrays don't show soft tissue so well) with it because it reflects the radiation (doesnt absorb it).
That's not the only inaccuracy in that chemmies posts, I assure you.
Barium sulfate is frequently used clinically as a radiocontrast agent for X-ray imaging and other diagnostic procedures. It is most often used in imaging of the GI tract during what is colloquially known as a 'barium meal'. It is administered, orally or by enema, as a suspension of fine particles in an aqueous solution (often with sweetening agents added). Although barium is a heavy metal, and its water-soluble compounds are often highly toxic, the low solubility of barium sulfate protects the patient from absorbing harmful amounts of the metal. Barium sulfate is also readily removed from the body, unlike Thorotrast, which it replaced. Due to the relatively high atomic number (Z = 56) of barium, its compounds absorb X-rays more strongly than compounds derived from lighter nuclei.

I showed you the section in the report which says how they developed the cost analysis. As explained in the report, the estimates for the amounts of material required are based on computer models.
There are no samples which show high levels of aluminum in soil or drinking water.

Aluminum in soils is a problem. Always has been. Aluminum is everywhere but it's only a problem for crops in acidic soils.

Funny thing about that. In "What in the World..." they claim that the "spraying" is making the soil more alkaline. That means less acid. That means that aluminum isn't a problem for plants. Seems like Monsanto would be complaining about how the spraying is screwing up their plan. Either that or the fools who made the movie blew it (again).
N is supplied as ammonium (NH4) or nitrate (NO3) in fertilizer amendments, and dissolved N will have the highest concentrations in soil with pH 6-8. Concentrations of available N are less sensitive to pH than concentration of available P. In order for P to be available for plants, soil pH needs to be in the range 6.0 and 7.5. If pH is lower than 6, P starts forming insoluble compounds with iron (Fe) and aluminium (Al) and if pH is higher than 7.5 P starts forming insoluble compounds with calcium (Ca).

You should study some more before calling me out!!

Right and I guess having to geoengineer crops for aluminum resistance, is just for the heck of it.
Good to know, but I could say the about you.

You know its great that we have you here phage its nice to know we have someone with the highest level of security clearance that you can tell us that no government has a ongoing geoengineering program involving spraying from aircrafts.
It must be great to have that kind of trust put into you that you know what's happening in every country around the world.
After all only if you have this kind of clearance could you state that this kind of program has not been implemented

Those anomalies are probably easily explained with some science or meteorology. Let me know what you've seen specifically and I'll try to guide you toward understanding.

AIDS isn't a virus, it's caused by HIV, which is a virus. Are you insinuating that these things were engineered to harm us?

Agreed. Liars and hoaxers are going to lie and hoax, be it about 'chemtrails', 'orgone', 'mind control', etc. Fear and ignorance are major money makers.

Acid soils limit crop production on 30-40% of the world’s arable land and up to 70% of the world’s potentially
arable land (Haug, 1983). Although the poor fertility of acid soils is due to a combination of mineral toxicities (aluminum and manganese) and deficiencies (phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and molybdenum), Al toxicity is the single most important factor, being a major constraint for crop production on 67% of the total acid soil
area (Eswaran et al., 1997).
