Probably no one else here will find this as amusing as me, because I doubt anybody else here has published papers on contrail avoidance. But still, I think it's funny as hell. xkcd.com/966/

I was going to publish a paper on contrail avoidance, but you beat me to it.

You know how I know this is completely fabricated? You expect me to actually believe someone is named "Sue E. Butts."
C'mon, bro, how gullible do you think we are? Did Hugh G. Rection sign off on it?

It wasn't contrails, but a week and a half ago I was watching in the sky as planes were flying during San Francisco's Fleet Week air show.
There were five jets trying to spell out something using puffs of smoke oil. They were pretty good at it, and I could clearly make out the letters (even looking from the wrong direction) they were writing. However, by the time they'd gotten to the middle of what they were writing, the first letters were starting to dissipate. They were trying to write something like "CELEBRATING NINETY YEARS OF NAVAL AVAIATION". The whole thing was spread out over six miles.
A few years ago there was a pretty big fire on Angel Island in San Francisco Bay right at the end of Fleet Week. There were some suggestions that it was bigger because the Blue Angels had dumped smoke oil while flying over the island. The fire probably started during the show, but got really nasty later that night.

Contrails have nothing to do with jet fuel. They are a government conspiracy to disperse chemicals to control our minds (or the weather, or both.)
