MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUWE ELEVEN
Pilot Describes
Contrails as
'Just a Cloud'
Hill Air Force Base, Utah
(U.R) Contrails are just about
the craziest things in the sky. . -
Contrail is the military abbre
viation for a condensation trail,
sometimes known as a vapor
trail. ; . v. . ,
That's the little pencil-shaped
cloud that trails behind high
flying airplanes under special
conditions.
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."
