In the 340.
It was humid.
Oddly, despite loading no chemicals, I left a contrail at 11,500 feet over Lake Michigan.
So did most of the planes whose paths I crossed under.
Just sayin’
RFK could not be reached for comment.
Funny how burring a hydrocarbon leaves water vapor as a byproduct, innit? Must be some chemistry there or something.
Good stuff, how is the engine running?
So far, so good.
But how LONG was the contrail there?
That’s the thing about this subject. I can remember as a kid watching the planes go by all the time. Dad was in the ANG, we went to the base on the weekends, I loved everything about planes. I’d try to ID the commercial liners by their outlines. And you’d see the contrails (sometimes)…. and one of the things I liked to do, was guesstimate what the wind conditions were, and what altitude they were at, based on how the contrails stayed around, blew out, or just straight disappeared.
Sometimes I see planes going by nowadays spewing contrails behind them. They’re short, they’re long, wide, skinny, look exactly the same as before, all different kinds, sometimes none at all. And then there are the other planes making ‘contrails’, that behave entirely different. Then its always hazy for a few days, and it rains.
Then Tennessee passed a law banning this nutcase conspiracy theory that couldn’t possibly be true, and I only see those funny contrails when I travel now.
But it’s total poppycock man, wing-nut stuff. The government has assured me, and they never, ever lie.
