Post What do pilots think of "Chemtrails"?

I used to be a hardcore believer in Chemtrails for many years untill i realized how gullible i was, I guess i just lacked critical thinking skills. I assume they (piliots) all just laugh at this pathetic conspiracy nonsense. Am i right? Or do some actually fall for this conspiracy EEK!

The FIRST rule of Chemtrails is: DON'T talk about Chemtrails!

There are chemical additives in fuel for various reasons, stopping algae growth for one, that may be released into the environment. How dangerous they are, I don't know, but probably not very.

By comparison, the stuff that comes out of coal power plants actually kills people.

Beware the cross hatch pattern. Those are the worst!

I commend you on figuring this out, but don't be hard on yourself for being gullible. You provided comfort to the chemtrail conspiracists, you tried to provide a service to the lithium-coated public by warning them, and you provided much free entertainment to the pilot community. And there is nothing we like better than free entertainment. Thank you for your service!

As for pilots who seriously believe in chemtrails, I've never met one. Hopefully, there is one that's chewing on their nails right now, and is about to decide, after a little nervous crying and hysterical laughing, that they're going to be brave enough to post. One can only hope. That would stretch out the thread for months.

We can only allow one chemtrail discussion per page, do a search here for all the other discussions on this topic. We are fully stocked up on crazy this week.
