I saw the Blue Angels today. As they arrived there was no contrail. Then, all 6 simultaneously started putting out a thick white contrail which continued for the next several miles. How do they turn it on and off? Reply
What you are seeing are not contrails. Airshow aircraft have smoke systems that pump mineral oil into the exhaust to create the white smoke. Reply
