NAAA represents more than 1,300 members in 46 states. The majority of NAAA members are licensed as commercial applicator-operators that use aircraft to enhance food and fiber production, protect forestry, and control health-threatening pests. The NAAA contributes to research and educational programs focused on enhancing the efficacy and safety of aerial application.
Operation S.A.F.E. is a comprehensive program of education, professional analysis of application, and commitment to the principles outlined by the NAAA Board of Directors. NAAA is convinced that full implementation of Operation S.A.F.E. offers substantial advantages to the operator, his customers, and the producers of chemicals applied by air. These advantages are found in economy of operation and application, as well an in increased safety and reduced health and environmental concerns.
A second issue where grassroots teamwork from NAAA members has been and will continue to be important pertains to NAAA�s efforts to increase federal funding for aerial application technology research.

The contrail issue I think is caused by older aircraft with less fuel efficient engines which produce more hydrocarbons and high amounts of moisture, which in the upper atmosphere freezes and you see the exhaust.
If you notice, the amount of con-trails are more prevalent in the fall, winter, spring because of the cooler upper atmosphere temps than in the summer.
Its like in the winter on a cold day when you exhale, you can see your breath, same principle, but instead its the aircrafts exhaust not your breath.

Have you ever seen a plane spraying a field?
It is kind of neat, and the skill of the pilots is amazing. One time I watched a small biplane spraying a field near Chandler Az. The plane was flying 10 to 15 feet off the ground. When he reached the end of the field, he would pull straight up and flip around in an Immelman turn, drop back down and spray the next pass.
How do you equate that with a commercial airliner flying at 30,000 feet??

1) Chemtrails are real. Even twenty years ago when I was a young child my father would take me to air shows to see the Blue Angels, which would spray colorful trails across the sky. This was twenty years ago, folks. Back then you could even rent a plane to spray messages to your loved one. Now flip forward to twenty years later. During the past twenty years we have experienced a technological advancement like no other during humanity. This advancement isn't solely about bigger TV's and smaller cell phones, this advancement also includes government technology and aspirations.
2) I live in an area where the local commerce depends on two things, crops and the military. The food supply and the military are the two utmost things that a government protects, with its citizens a close third (sad but true).
3) The final result of the spraying is an additional, lower cloud cover. This is what leads to my hypothesis.
Hypothesis The government is spraying to protect us, and our crops, from the harmful UV rays that resulted from the current deterioration of our atmosphere. By producing an additional and fake cloud cover they are ensuring that our crops and our citizens do not fry.
Arguing that chemtrails do not exist is like saying mosquito sprayers do not exist. Sure, they are most likely spraying chemicals, but chemicals exist in all areas of our daily lives. Our water supply, our food supply, our air, our cigarettes all contain chemicals in one form or another. Some of our daily actions include inhaling/eating/drinking pathogenic substances. All species produce waste in one form or another, whether it be chemical or biological. I am suggesting that perhaps, just maybe, the government is trying to do something about the effects of ozone depletion.

Chemtrails: The next White Elephant project from a nation with too much money than it knows what to do with. Like the Maginot Line and Seigfried Line of the past, this will unlikely turn up any considerable results when what should really be done is more of an offensive approach rather than of defense approach (i.e. reduction of oil and coal consumption). What good are chemtrails when half a world away the Chinese have no choice but to consume more fossil fuels thereby creating an influx of climate change wiping out all of the contrail work done in America? Rather than risking money on a project that might work, America would be better off doing something else.
