You know whats neat NWA, is how 744s #1 and #4 engine contrails always twist and wrap around the #3 and #2 contrails due to the wake vortexes. The A340 does not do this.Must be somthing with the distance from the engine to the wingtip, or the angle of the engine. Anyway, neat

I still think this is my all-time favorite contrail photo. http://www.airliners.net/open.file/296148/L/ You can see that the wake vortexes keep the contrail within persistant limits while the rest of the contrail died off. Very cool.

Nice one PHXPilot! I had to add that one to my collection.Only the dark shadow knows Heavy My own observation ~ quote: I have witnessed a low white trail with a gap in it, with a dark shadow band just above this trail, and another band just below it. Both shadow bands ran parallel to the white trail, BUT both bands continued on through the gap. The position of the sun at the time could not have caused these "shadows".
http://www.chemtrailcentral.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/000266.html Interesting are Deborah's observations ~ quote: This "shadow" [pictured above] is EXACTLY what I observed on Saturday, April 1, 2000 from Cambridge, MA, IN ADVANCE OF an aircraft that was spewing trails into a sky already clogged to the limit with them. This "shadow" extended from the nose of the aircraft all the way down to earth as far as I could tell, and maintained its rigid shape and position IN DIRECT ALIGNMENT with the trajectory of the aircraft as if it were AN EXTENSION OF THE AIRCRAFT ITSELF. Even the color is the same - a bluish-grey - very distinctive - I will never forget it. ***** was with me and also saw it. I posted this observation at Clifford's later that day but the post is now gone. I did print that post and will try to dig it out of my references.

Maybe you should write a letter to Jeff Foxworthy. His entire stand up comedy routine is about "rednecks". I bet its ripping our fragile social structure to shreds.

About the "dark extention in front of the aircraft"Look at this photo (we've got photos for everything dont we. ) : http://www.airliners.net/open.file/337710/L Now, you can see that this shadow was projected VERY far ahead of the actual aircraft. If the shadow was projected onto a thin cloud layer, as you can see sometimes, and the observer was in the correct spot, the contrail shadow can seem to be projected out directly in front of the aircraft.

More on the two dark bands witnessed 10-06-00 quote: It appeared that these dark bands dissipated in about twenty minutes, but 1/2 hr. later I took a picture of the sunset and although I couldn't see this with my naked eye, it showed up in photo: a low-hanging (lower than any cloud or trail seen ever) black cloud that hovered over this sleepy city for most of the night. It was so windless that this chemcocktail seemed to hardly move at all. Just hang over the city and ever so slowly nudge N/E.

Honestly, Im having quite the time trying to visualize what you are trying to explain there.  What you are saying is that you saw a contrail, then one shadow on "top" of the contrail, and one "below". Right? Where was the sun during this episode?

The white trail was running West to East, and was near time for the sun to be West, close to setting. What I find oddest is the dark trails continued on over the gap in the white trail. How can a gap have a shadow? er shadows?

I have a photo of the ON/OFF white trail, but unfortunately the two dark shadow bands had dissipated by the time I took the picture.

OK, see, what you saw could only occur if:1. Trail ran east-west 2. Sun close to setting or rising So, quite an easy explaination now. As you can see in the photo I showed earlier (the one with the shadow on the ground), the shadow can be projected miles in front of or behind the part of the contrail that actually created the shadow. What you saw ( a shadow over the gap in the contrail), was the shadow from the section of contrail far in front of the gap. Since the sun was setting in the west, it caused the contrail to create a shadow that ended up far to the east of straight down. So, the gap in the shadow would have been seen far to the east where you could see no gap in the contrail. The shadow you saw was not created by the portion of contrail sitting near it. Does that makes sense?
