I have been on just about every damn AF military aircraft. Same ,same. I have never ran a checklist Prior to take off, cruise or landing that said release bull****. Not even a switch. I’ve been on some crazy as airdrops, BUT never that ****. i have never been on Fire fighting AC. Maybe they do, all 14 jets get up in the morning and fly the entire United States. Those C130s are known for lightning speed.I have been an aircraft mechanic for over 25 years. I have had this conversation before. If it were some grand scheme to modify the globe. There are only a couple of possibilities.
1. There is a dedicated fleet of aircraft dumping this material into the atmosphere. (Everyday?) Highly unlikely! Where is the budget? Where do they get pilots? What do these aircraft look like? Who does the maintenance? Where do they get these chemicals?
2. The formulation of Jef A and its equivalents have been modified to include this material.
Proponents claim there are tanks aboard these craft to dump this material. As an aircraft mechanic intimately familiar with commercial aircraft. I guarantee there aren’t any additional tanks. If they used commercial aircraft to disperse this material, where is the supply chain? The trucks to tank them up? The maintenance to fix these bits when they malfunction?
The reason I ask is I have sat in the cockpit (jump-seat) of commercial jets and seen other commercial passenger jets as close as 500 feet away (RVSM) whose engines are producing contrails. At altitude its easy to see that every aircraft is leaving a contrail. If every aircraft is leaving a contrail. And just imagine for a moment that every contrail contains this imaginary chemical. Then this chemical has to go through the jet engine.
I could go on about turbine engine efficiency, but suffice it to say there isn’t alot of room for non essential products when these engine designers are trying to wring as much efficiency as they can out of every pound of fuel.
Wouldn’t it be a simpler explanation that the later generation of turbine engines are more efficient at turning fuel into heat and thrust, and that heat at that altitude (30,000 feet = -30 Celsius) makes a vapor trail with similar cloud like properties that linger for days?
