  1. all aircraft produce condensation trails when flying high enough. this is due to the combustion process. when you burn a hydrocarbon based fuel, and if combustion is complete, then you get carbon dioxide and water vapor. the water vapor will freeze when the outside temperature is cold enough, and that is the vapor trail you see. you get the same effect on a cold morning with your car until it warms up enough.


  2. Convair 990 or B727.

  3. They call them AIRPLANES.

  4. they are jets and it's not smoke when the heat of the exhaust hits the cold high altitude air water condenses forming those streaks you see behind them all jets do this if the air is cold enough and contains enough moisture kind like when steam comes out of your mouth on a cold day

  5. Every plane shoots smoke -.- If it was a jet it would be anything to a spit fire to a b1 bomber

  6. yeah, dude, there isn't one plane that does that. The aircraft you see are probably a different type every time.

  7. That's not a planet it's a comet

  8. You're looking at just a normal 747, or 727 or something of that nature. The line of smoke, is just the disruption of them flying through higher atmosphere and affecting it.
