I dont know enough about Jet Aircraft to know whether or not this is actually a fuel dump or somthing else? It sure looks suspicious to me though.

Can anyone comment?

JESUS CHRIST! This thread was posted earlier, in fact, I was the one led to kick it off.

I heard it took TPTB several times to explain it to Al Gore before he finally "got it".

I do notice that the wingtips in this picture are also causing "Chemtrails." Why should this be, if the effect is only caused by "spraying"

Perhaps the meteorologists are right and persistent contrails are simply an effect determined by various atmospheric conditions

And a follow up question -- Z, in your posts that I've read youve generally seemed like a reasonable person. Do you really believe this s***, or are you just stirring the pot?

Instant Breakfast, Sorry about that I wasnt trying to steal your thunder I just didnt see your thread on the subject. Apologies

E.H. I am extremely skeptical about not only chemtrails but a lot of things in life I've got to prove it to myself before I believe it. But at the same time I try to keep an open mind on subjects because as we all know sometimes the truth can be stranger than fiction.

But once I've conviced myself that somthing is true, I can become very opinionated about it. Y2K was certainly proof though that I'm not always right.

E.H.,

You are trying to tell me that those faint lines at the wing tips are equal to those huge plumes coming from beneath the wings? Going out of our way to try and discredit this photo, are we?

Instant,

Where did you start a thread with this photo in it? I couldn't find it anywhere in the last two days. Going out of our way to try and discredit the poster, are we?

That being said in defense of the photo/post, that photo may have been airbrushed like a Playboy centerfold for all we know.

I am still withholding final judgment on chemtrails.

Z i'm not saying your wrong but the photo looks a little suspect to me. Whoever took the photo would have had to been right under the tanker. I would think the Air Force would frown on that and send a plane to check on things. Just MHO.

I agree that it could be a phony doctored photo.

Interesting though huh?

The aircraft is an EC-135. They are used for navigation support for fighter group deployments, range test support, and a few "special" electronic warfare duties.

The aircraft are coverd with different types of antennae. You can see the vortices coming from the wingtip EW pods. It appears that two larger vortices are coming from two large blade antennas mounted under the wings. Depending on the temperature and humidity, different shapes will create vortices that leave a visible contrail.

Most of the EC-135's are painted in gull grey on the underbody and white on the top. When photgraphed from below and in bright sun, the entire body will appear white.

Nonsense kids,

I have seen larger condensation trails forming on flaps of a 747 during landing.

Not only in the US but worldwide. It depends on shape of the part, (the big parts on the wings that are exposed during landing are notorius as are antennas on the aircraft) temperature and huminity (sp) how strong the effect is.

Those trails are for real and the plane has been added and matched up. Somebodies loved one is communicating with this world and the loved ones have been waiting. They will see the message if the look and try very hard. The trails are everwhere and have been for thousands of years. Planes have only been around for 100 years.
