The video specifically said that the majority of the testing was done using foggers from buildings and ground vehicles (Station wagons). Didn't you watch your own video?

PS - i don't trust "anonymous" sources, ever.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me at all if the government were spraying tons of crap in the atmosphere for whatever reason. They can't handle money or power responsibly so yes, it's entirely possible.

BTW, at the time ZnCdS was thought to be an easily tracable, none harmful, substance. The point of the test was to track dispersment patterns in the case of a war. To this day, there is no proof that ZnCdS has any harmful side effects at the low levels people were exposed too.

The text of my post (see below) is old news, but...
"Control of space means control of the world. From space, the masters of infinity would have the power to control the earth's weather, to cause drought and flood, to change the tides and raise the levels of the sea, to divert the gulf stream and change temperate climates to frigid. There is something more important than the ultimate weapon. And that's the ultimate position. The position of total control over the Earth that lies somewhere in outer space."
-President Lyndon Johnson, Statement on Status of Nation's Defense and Race for
Space, January 7, 1958
One month later, Lyndon Johnson and the Senate Special Committee on Space and Astronautics drafted a resolution to change the name of the US Army's Ballistic Missile Arsenal to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Do you happen to know the amount of checks involved when doing a pre-flight inspection? You just don't rock up to it like your car and hop in and go flying. Plus, as you know with you bag weight issues, there is a weight and balance problems to solve. This takes into account the empty aircraft weight, plus fuel plus passengers plus baggage. Now, seeing as you have had your selected aircraft type drummed into you from day one and can tell anyone that is interested that will listen about any nut or bolt on you aircraft, I don't think there is going to be any extra surprises when I come to work on my aircraft? A simple 100kg can make the difference between take-off and live and take-off and die? Really it could, especially in hot conditions, but that's not the point here.
Let me make this really clear. We, as pilots would know if there was anything on our aircraft that shouldn't be there.
Full stop.
Or perhaps we're all in on it too yeah? Pft!!

But weight and balance applies to military planes too. As does fuel checks, and all the other checks that occur with a civilian plane.
The much more likely occurrence with this story, was that the KC-135s were on a refueling track with something they didn't want to talk about, and that's why they were ordered to keep other aircraft clear. When on a refueling mission, the tankers are given a block of airspace that goes from roughly 19,000 feet or so, to over 30,000 feet. The refueling can take place at any point in that block, as they "own" that airspace during the refueling times.
Jet fuel is sterile when it is produced at the refinery because of the high processing temperature; however, there are numerous opportunities to contaminate the fuel in its route from refinery to aircraft. Contamination can occur any time that fuel is transferred.
It is extremely important that jet fuel be delivered to the aircraft clean and on specification. This includes thermal stability, flash point, viscosity, conductivity lubricity, fluidity, and volatility.
Fuel cleanliness means the absence of solid particles such as rust and dirt and absence of free water. Particulates can plug fuel filters. Water in the fuel may enable corrosion of some metals and aid in the growth of microorganisms. Fuels that are out of specification can seriously impact engine life and performance
Fuel quality control is outlined in several industry standards including Air Transport Association (ATA) 103 Standard for Jet Fuel Quality Control at Airports; International Air Transport Association (IATA) Fuel Quality Control and Fueling Service Guidance Material; and Joint Inspection Group (JIG) Guidelines.
Jet Fuel received at the pipeline terminal from a multi-product pipeline is placed into dedicated storage, where its quality is confirmed.
Product received that is not “on-specification” is returned to the refinery for further processing.
Received jet fuel is processed through a series of filters that can include pleated paper or synthetic fiber filter elements for removal of particulates, often called pre-filters or Micronics filters. The jet fuel is then passed through filter/separators for removal of free waters. These filters are equipped with water coalescing elements, which cause smaller droplets of water to combine into larger drops and then pass the fuel through water separator elements that allow the fuel to pass through and reject the larger water droplets. Sumps are provided in the bottom of the vessel to collect and drain off the water. Heaters should be installed on the sumps in freezing climates. The filter/separator shall incorporate an automatic air eliminator. While filter/separators are generally considered to be the workhorse of the modern jet fuel system, they can in fact be one on the greatest contributors of safety issues.
The typical hydrant pumping system consists of a bank of pumps operating in parallel, a bank of outbound filter/separators for water removal, and appropriate flow control valves and appropriate isolation valves as required by the system layout. Strainers should be used to protect the pumps. The pumps and filters are typically installed as sets on a manifold. This arrangement will ensure the flow capacity of the filter elements is not exceeded. A flow control valve should be used to regulate the flow through each set. These manifold sets will feed through some type of pressure and flow sensing device or devices to provide a means of controlling the pumping system.
Fuel Servicing Vehicles or Carts shall be provided with metering, filtration and control valves to safely control the flow of fuel into the aircraft. The Fuel Servicing Vehicle/Cart shall be equipped with a dead-man type system in accordance with NFPA 407 to stop the flow of fuel. Fuel is typically dispensed into the aircraft at pressures not to exceed 50 psi. The vehicle or cart should be provided with pressure controls to regulate the pressure into the aircraft.

That was interesting, I forgot that apart from LBJ being a gangster, he was also a Bohemian Grover.
