the average altitude for a commercial flight is 35,000 to 39,000
commercial airliners MUST keep a certain distance from each other, should they be commercial they are FAR to close
these planes are approaching each other at an angle, they are not vertical.
what evidence supports ice crystals lingering and appearing like chemtrails/contrails? i have looked and cannot find any.
...a contrail is formed from the heat from the jet engine, and only leaves a trail for a few SECONDS
Did An Airline Mechanic Stumble Upon The Truth?

Yeah, I love that story. It makes great bedtime reading. You HONESTLY believe that they're going to use COMMERCIAL planes to spray things? There are hundreds of military planes they would be using if they were doing this on any kind of scale. Military planes wouldn't be sitting in the open where anyone could see the spraying equipment while sitting in the terminal waiting to board.

Actually jets usually cruise from 25000 feet all the way upto 45000 feet.

Have you heard of diferant altitudes? Last time I checked they need atleast 1000 feet of vertical seperation between planes

They are vertically seperated by atleast 1000 feet, though they may not look like it as they are very high up.
Do you think these are about to colide?

Also what evidence DOESN'T support normal Contrails from persistant? Meteorology? No.
...a contrail is formed from the heat from the jet engine, and only leaves a trail for a few SECONDS
Well maybe if you looked up and new some Meteorology you would know that CONtrails can last a very very long time....

That could of been written in 5 minutes by any idiot wishing to create a hoax.
REAL PROOF OF CHEMTRAILS ANYONE? WHY CANNOT CONTRAILS PERSIST?

Just as an exercise, let's assume that chemtrails actually do exist, and working from that assumption, let's see who has to be part of the conspiracy.
Assuming that your spray solution doesn't weigh any more than water, and that your chemtrail-laying aircraft has about the same capacity as a Cessna 188 (a popular agricultural sprayer), you're talking about 2,336 lbs just for the solution. That's over a ton of disposable weight. A Boeing 757 (freight variant) has a maximum takeoff weight of 255,000 lbs, so the spray solution alone represents almost 1% of the total max weight for the plane. That's a lot of 'after market' bling to hang on a commercial jet, so we have to assume that the designers at Boeing are part of the conspiracy, along with designers at Lockheed.
The assembly-line workers have to be part of the conspiracy too, since a spray rig is a fairly obvious thing to build, and somebody's going to ask questions.
The maintenance crews have to be in on the deal, because *somebody* has to fix the equipment.
The cockpit crews have to be in on it as well...I can guarantee you that they're going to notice the changes in trim when a plane gets that much lighter. In fact, *every* cockpit crew of *every( airliner is going to have to be part of the conspiracy...otherwise, they'd be asking questions over very public airwaves about why Delta 225 is suddenly throwing smoke from the wings.
The air traffic controllers are part of the cover-up, too...there's no way they're going to not notice all those odd flight patterns, grids, ovals, and Eqyptian Heiroglyphics traced out by chemtrail-spraying planes.
Most of the FAA would have to be in on things, but they're part of The Gub'mint, so that's not a surprise.
At least one chemical company would have to be in on this too, since somebody has to actually make and transport whatever is being sprayed.
At a conservative estimate, we're well over the 100,000 people mark so far, and they're all keeping the secret. That's about 99,999 more people than can normally keep a secret.
Moving along, let's even assume that this vast web of secrecy actually exists, and look at what's being sprayed, and why it's being sprayed. Most of the chemtrail believers I hear / read think that the spraying is either some form of population control (either in the literal sense of reducing population, or in the more esoteric sense of controlling the minds / actions of the population) or some form of atmospheric modification. Oddly enough, the altitudes used by commercial jets don't sit well with either notion. 25,000 - 45,000 feet is FAR too high to perform effective ground spraying. Your spray will be too diffuse, and far too prone to blow off target. There's a *reason* crop dusters fly low, folks, and it's not adrenaline. It's also too low to have a very serious impact on the atmosphere. It's below most of the ozone layer, it's below most of the mass of the atmosphere, which means it's not an effective zone to attempt climate modification.
In short, Chemtrails require (at least as far as I can tell) too many people and too much effort for a very inefficient method of doing anything.
And just because every conspiracy thread these days needs a nifty photo...

If ice crystals can only last a short time, then how do we get snowfall?
Formed at 12,000 and the weather caught us. Couldn't climb fast enough to keep out of it. So we took off on our own to avoid any planes in the clouds. Six of our wing men went home when they became separated from us. We left England on our own and headed across France for Strassbourg. The contrails were dense, persistent - really hard to even see our own squadron.
Yes, we certainly did. Contrails were so thick that they became clouds. We often said that we created weather over Europe. They would persist for many hours, maybe days. We flew a different route coming back than going in partly to avoid the contrail clouds that we created. There are some pictures of contrails on my web site - none of these are shown to be very heavy but there were time when we were near the end of the bomber stream and the contrails were so dense that it was no dfferent than flying in clouds. A thousand or more
planes (4000 internal combustion engines) can make a lot of contrail at 25000 feet or more.
My recollection is that the contrails persisted for some time. While I don't recall timing them, I would guess that they could be seen for fifteen minutes or more. At times, Germany appeared to be almost covered by contrails as far as you could see. Essentially creating a cloud layer which could possibly persist for hours I suppose. The bombers' in more or less straight lines, the fighters', usually above us, more random as they criss crossed or circled. A common sight was the escorts dropping their tanks and heading off after the bad guys.
The contrails also tended to create a cloud layer which restricted the visibility of the following aircraft. So, contrails represented a problem to us and were to be avoided if at all possible. The idea of poison clouds is obviously ludicrous to those who have regularly experienced them.
