What do you think is the real reason behind chemtrails? Take a look at this video:

Friend and I disagree, He maintains they choose it depending on wind direction. I thought it was in rotation for consideration to local residents (esp in London)

My thoughts being modern airliners with engine redundancy hardly need a headwind to get off the ground (but I may be way wrong on this!)

We were talking about Heathrow in particular but I guess it applies elsewhere.

If you have a qualification to back up your reply (pilot, ATC guys etc) let us know!

Please explain in detail. Is it because engines are now much more powerful than they were 10-20 years ago? Also, I saw on TV once that helicopter blades produce a vortex directly behind the blade, with an axis of rotation that is parallel to the blade. This cause the next blade to be less efficient as it passed through the vortex instead of undisturbed air. This seemed to show that it was better to have fewer blades instead of more. That way the vortex had more time to dissipate. Wouldn't this happen with a propeller, as well? What are some other advantages and disadvantages of having more blades instead less, etc.?

I live in a scenic part of Tucson, Arizona (Gates Pass) and we get a LOT of private plane traffic over the Pass including aerobatic planes, vintage planes, and kit planes. Although they are probably legal, more than a few seem to operate at minimum altitude and full throttle; i.e. LOUD! I would guess we have at least 5 low flyovers every Sat/Sun morning and at least 2-3 low flyovers on weekdays. You can even hear some in the shower early in the morning!

What can I do? I've contacted the FAA, the airports, the flight companies, the government, individuals, etc. What else can I do?

From takeoff was the sr-71 quick to reach say mach 2 and then slower to accelerate to mach 3 or what. Like the acceleration in MPH or something.
Sources please.

Uusually the planes prepare to fly or land from the west end of the runway but occasionally they reverse this measure during the day and they prepare to fly or land from the easterly direction.

Anyone know why they change during the day?

The helicopter has a line hanging from the bottom as if it picking up something but I keep seeing it drop things into various fields around my house. It is not very far from the power lines. This is extremely unusual in my area and I can't get close enough to see what there dropping. any ideas?

There was recently a problem on flight MK 641 of Air Mauritius to Hong Kong. Some passengers do not agree with the version of Air Mauritius that turbulence was the cause. they say there could have been problems with the navigation system of the plane.

I'm just an ordinary citizen that fly with the commercial airlines around. Just want a simple clarification on something. As i was sitting quite near the pilot cockpit and right beside the window, i found out that a small jeep with is used to haul the plane out from the landing bay, then a few workers have to unbuckle it before it can begin taxiing. So my question is does the plane has any sort of reverse gear that can do its work or it has to depend on the small jeep to haul it out all the time?
(Any real pilots or airport workers can answer me?)
Thanks....

Ok kind of a long sad story but here it goes...My grandfather owned a sawmill here in Oregon back in 1966. He was flying his family..my grandmother, 3 aunts and a cousin and a friend of one of my aunts she was pregnant . 7 people on board. He was enroute to his cattle ranch in Eastern Oregon when he encountered a severe lightning storm. The aircraft was an Beechcraft Queenair twin engine pressurized fully equipped ect. He even had JATO rockets one each under each wing to assist for an emergency short take off. I'm an A&P mechanic and didn't belive that until I looked at the records and yes it had them. Anyways lightning hit the plane and they crashed and all perished. My father was 17 at the time and was suppose to be on the flight but skipped out last minute. The FAA ruled that lightning "ignited the JATO's setting them off and burning into the fuselage..my question..Is that even possible? I mean isn't an aircraft safe in lightning?? thanks just curious.

Sorry, this is my third question about airplanes. I've gotten an interest into them. Well, according to the answers I got in the other question, the airplane wingspan doesn't directly affect the maximum speed. Can anyone tell me the main thing that DOES affect the speed of an airplane directly?

an airliner flying next to mount Everest would almost crash into it!! Do different airliners fly at different altitudes depending on where they fly? Bonus question- how long does it take for the average airliner taking off to reach cruising altitude? I've seen videos of airliners departing on YouTube and it seems that (even after 10+ minutes of climbing) they never quite reach those really high clouds (the ones that are not fluffy like cotton).
