Not hardly--too cost sensitive, still definitely worthy of study. Also, I can see regulating flight schedules if there is a benefit. And I wonder if fuel compositions might be adjusted on some routes. What additives would be appropriate for that altitude? Ernie Rogers In a message dated 1/9/2010 7:21:02 P.M.

This was then easy to distinguish and track by satellites to see undisputed, how aeroplane emissions can be made to turn clear skies to artificial cirrus covered clouds.
