Individuals with superficial knowledge of a topic or subject may be worse off than people who know absolutely nothing.
As Charles Darwin observed, "ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge."[4]
Ignorance can stifle learning, in that a person who falsely believes he or she is knowledgeable will not seek out clarification of his beliefs, but rather rely on his ignorant position.
He may also reject valid but contrary information, neither realizing its importance nor understanding it.
Requests for access to research flight hours begin with the submission of an Initial Request for Aircraft Support (Word (35kb), PDF (30kb)) to the manager of the facility. Based on information provided on this form, a DOE-empowered advisory panel recommends to DOE an award of flight hours for the proposed use. Then the user completes a more detailed Research Aircraft Deployment Document (RADD: Word (180kb), PDF (85kb)) in coordination with the RAF manager. RAF users not associated with the DOE Atmospheric Science Program will need to work with the RAF manager on an estimate of the cost of offsite aircraft logistics such as 1) landing fees, 2) hangar rental, 3) ground support facilities, and 4) labor and expenses for a PNNL flight crew of two pilots and two scientific support personnel. During the preparation of RADD, schedules are confirmed and safety and environmental compliance requirements are addressed.
The RAF does not cover the cost of engineering studies and airframe modifications needed for custom installation of project-specific equipment and instrumentation. Such costs must be budgeted separately through a contract with PNNL or Battelle. When requested, RAF staff will assist users in estimating these costs.

Gulfstream-1 Research Aircraft
The G-1 is a large twin turboprop with performance characteristics of contemporary production aircraft. It is capable of measurements to altitudes approaching 30,000 feet over ranges of 1500 nautical miles, and can be operated at speeds that enable both relatively slow sampling and rapid deployment to field sites throughout the world. The aircraft is configured for versatile research applications. It accommodates a variety of external probes for aerosol, radiation, and turbulence measurements and internal sampling systems for a wide range of measurements. The G-1 has sufficient cabin volume, electrical power and payload capabilities, and flight characteristics to accommodate a variety of instrument systems and experimental equipment configurations. Internal instrumentation is mounted in removable racks to enable rapid reconfiguration as necessary. Data from most systems are acquired on a central computer that is tailored to airborne research data acquisition. In addition to acquiring the various analog and digital input signals, it can be configured to communicate with and/or control other systems onboard, and to provide time synchronization to other computers.

In the last few decades we've seen a new type of cloud: Asperatus; the first new cloud classified since 1951
What Are They Spraying should have had someone fly behind several of these planes and taken fresh samples for analysis, I wish they, or someone with the funds, would do that already. I don't know the FAA regulations behind doing such close approach flights but I've seen them done so it's possible to conduct those experiments.
Whatever they are, chem or contrails, they need to stop because they are affecting life on the planet, especially photosynthesis in crops, essential for health and survival.
Wait... they don't want us healthy, they want us sick so they can "treat" the symptoms. With that FACT in mind, I'd say it's likely they'd spray us like cockroaches and not lose any sleep over it.

What changed in the atmosphere in 1951 for there to be a new type of cirrus named?
The phrase to be on cloud nine, meaning that one was blissfully happy, started life in the United States and has been widely known there since the 1950s; it’s since spread worldwide.
