Ground dwellers looking up ward may think that the con trails indicate a pilot is trying his hand at sky-writing,, but that's far. from the case. , Contrails are a; peculiar phe nomena, frequently in the "now you see it, now you don't" cat egory. Actually, pilots can't cause them to happen. Lot of Experiences Capt. Stewart M. Gregory, lean, mustached acting chief of flight operations at sprawling Hill Air . Force base between Ogden and Salt Lake City, has had a lot of experience with contrails as the pilot of prop eller and jet fighters. ' Asked to explain- how, when and why the condensation trails occur, . Gregory glanced at an Air Force manual on the subject and answered: . '. "Really, they're just a cloud." Contrails, he said, are prim arily formed by condensation of water vapor in the atmosphere that passes through a piston or jet engine. Movement of the plane itself through the vapor-laden air also causes some condensation, but not in the noticeable volume of air that goes through, the hard driving .engines. Contrary to popular opinion, jets . .because of their exhaust heat that retards condensation are less likely, to cause trails than propeller-driven 'aircraft. The trails form only in a com paratively' narrow layer of air about 10,000 feet thick-r-where conditions of humidity and tem perature are "just right." Normally, they never form be low 20,000 feet because the air is . too warm . at low altitudes. Rarely do they occur over 40, 000 feet because of lack of wat er vapor in the atmosphere at higher altitudes. Sometimes the pattern is spotty, differing sharp-. ly every few miles. During World War II, con trails were a definite hazard to military pilots because they gave away the position of attacking aircraft to ground observers. Didn't Car in Korea "In Korea, we didn't care,' Gregory said. ."Our jets wanted the MIG's to know where they were so they'd come out and fight," - . . Newer combat equipment cen tering around radar has mini mized the contra - observation hazard, the pilot added, - "be cause radar spots the planes quickly anyway." Asked if jet pilots like to form contrails, Gregory laughed and said "they sure do. "When we're up there alone, the people on the ground usual ly don't know it," he explained. "So - we look for the contrail layer and spread out a few clouds of our own just so they'll know we're around." News About ' Servicemen MARINE ON LEAVE .. Pvt. Raymond D.
