Nope, never played any 'game'....just flew passengers from A to B. Contrails we leave behind, just appear. No chemical tanks, nothing special going on....

Greeneyedleo, do you have any pics from your base that show the X or the "tic tac toe" patterns over your base, or just the single jet stream?
Unfortunately I dont. But I have seen patterns like circles, curves and "x"s due to the jets flying all around. Grant it, these are military jets that arent always just flying from Point A to Point B like commercial.
Point is, as greeneyed has said....she has seen these flights DIRECTLY over her base. WHY, oh why, would these things be "chemtrails" if they are DIRECTLY over AirForce bases???
It is a phenomenon, and it is very easilily explained....condensation. Stop this nonsense!

Tag team? LOL Im not tagging or teaming w/ anyone. I was just answering a question posed to me.

Ok. Yes, in that picture. But I live on an Air Force base where we have some type of aircraft flying every single day - even Sundays (we have ANG here).
So I see the exact same thing all the time.............they are contrails. And there is NEVER smoke in the air, nor is there EVER any funky after taste. Our air is VERY crisp and clean. So maybe the smoke and tastes you are experincing is coming from some other source? Just something to think about.
You should go check out the thread by Oztheweatherman.....good debate going on regarding these Here: www.abovetopsecret.com...
Im not an expert on clouds, but there are some here who are (OZ and Essan)....but those look like cirrus clouds: images.search.yahoo.com...

How Long do Contrails Last?
Q) How long do contrails last?
A) Anywhere from less than a second, up to several hours.
This is an oft-asked question. The answer is reasonably straightforward, but misunderstanding is common. To understand why a contrail can last as little as a fraction of a second, or as long as several hours, you need to understand what a contrail is, and how it forms.
Here’s another question, which has the same answer:
Q) How long does a snowflake last?
Why is this basically the same question? Because contrails are generally made of ice crystals. Jet exhaust contains a lot of water vapor (the chemical reaction actually produces more water than there was originally jet fuel), and when this gets shot out of the back of the engine at 2000MPH, it hits the frigid air (typically colder than -40 degrees), and the water vapor condenses and freezes, very quickly, into tiny ice crystals, just like snowflakes.
There are a lot of jets in the air
