Here's an interesting email I received about the megasprayer:
----------------------------------
Hello Steve:
No sir, I'm not an MD-80 pilot. I'm not a pilot at all. I have an Engineering
background & I'm an Airliner Enthusiast since childhood and unofficial
historian. I've taken courses in Aircraft Design and follow the Industry
very closely. I've also sold Airliner slides to ATP in CA and had a few
illustrations published, one in Airliners magazine.
I enjoy participating in the AirDisaster Forum. Since the group has been
so very helpful in providing information to me, I want to contribute too.
I am not one of the moderators, I'm just a member. But if I see a question
that I truly know the answer to, I will post a comment or reply. I will not
reply to a question which I have no knowledge about.
The reason I asked about the weather is that usually when there's more
humidity, condensation becomes visible at the trailing edges, especially
off of surfaces such as flaps, wingtips, etc. I've seen lots of condensation
trails on takeoffs and landings, some where it almost looks like the aircraft
is burning up! But like I said before, I've never seen a contrail like the one in
the picture you posted. I don't know the answer to that one.
What I am very sure about is that it's a Boeing 767-300. I'd be willing to
bet some money on that! (I've been told I have a good eye for identifying
aircraft)
Hope that's helpful.
Kind regards, ::name omitted::

Here's an awesome photo of what heavy contrails are supposed to look like:
LINK
And another, not quite so heavy: LINK2
Same thing: LINK3
Again: LINK4
And again:
LINK5
Note that none of these photos (including the 747) bear any resemblance to the photo at the top of this page.
Which is why I say, "Oh Lucy....", well, you know the rest.
Cheers!
