Breaking story: Flight path reveals pilots were making art in the sky. Art that put the lives of any number of unsuspecting people at risk.

I guess this bothers me on many levels. Or maybe I'm just sleepy and irritable.

I've been watching the development of the latest B-737 iteration.....the "MAX"......oh, boy.
More "chemtrails" claims are sure to be coming, when those are delivered to customers, and put into service......Oy! Vey!

I was speaking in terms of the newer engines it is going to use.
They will likely be even more efficient, and thus be making ever more contrails.....which the "khemtrail krowd" will continue to mis-identify as "chemtrails".....

Contrails have to do with temperature, pressure and water vapour - the engines used by the 787MAX and A320NEO won't produce any more contrails than current engines. Even the higher bypass ratios won't cause more trails.
