Up late from the night before, I viewed the Jets covering the sky early in the AM at first glimpse of light coverage from the sun.

When I left the house in the morning I watched several Jets criss-crossing the sky. I observed them the entire day as I ran errands and they were still zipping around by the time I returned home for dinner.

These fly low compared to jets and planes passing over the city in transit. Yet they are flying higher than those that are coming in to land at the local airport. They are completely silent -- which is unlike any of the other comparable air traffic I've experienced.

Our little city rarely gets a break, they cover us nearly everyday yet no-one seems to notice. This has been going on for months.

A blanket of Spray from several planes.



A nice fresh one I just witnessed go by.



Photographed again several hours later...



Going over the blanket for another round.



Hmm...



Hard to believe those clouds came from the jets...




This is directly across from the giant blanket of coverage. Where the sky was blue... but not for long.



Most of the trails you see me post extend from one side of the sky to the other but I have trouble capturing it with my camera.



Not the most natural look.



I wish I could capture them fully, but sharing what I can see through the lens is the best I can do.



The cross-hatching was very impressive and scary at the same time. It makes it all too real.



Meanwhile across the city by Walmart, I took along the camera...
Turns out the whole city was being done today.

An obvious trail, with some that have been blown around by the winds.



Some of them almost look pretty.





Stuck at a redlight in traffic and snapped a photo of a plane setting a trail in the sky while a older expanded trail sits in the background.



Another photo taken while driving... I don't have a good zoom on my camera (or a zoom lens) this was taken with the standard lens (not zoomed) that comes with the digital rebel. Could see it much better with binoculars.



Zoomed in.



Trail along the bottom left, new one being sprayed on the right ... with one up high that was kinda blown into the shape of a crocodile head



Hmm.. these looked different than the bulk of the ones sprayed but they still circled back and fourth laying the wavvy trails.
