I know it was going on in the Arizona desert before 2004, but they’ve really escalated it in recent years. It’s so obvious here, a place where we used to have deep blue skies year round, other than for an occasional El Nino year, and during our summer monsoon season.
There are thick grid lines laid down more days than not, crop dusting the peasants. Even on days like today with no obvious Etch-a-Sketch sky, it’s a barely-blue sky.
I’ve always worked and lived in the flight path, and no, it was never like this before. And funny how the photos I get from all over Arizona look exactly the same too.
They do the same thing here in the Atlanta area. Its always several planes criss crossing each other in a grid pattern. If you watch them all the time you can see them turn the spray off and on. I saw a plane the other day and while I was watching he turned on the spray and started a trail.

Nope, it’s just weather. See:

“There are thick grid lines laid down more days than not, crop dusting the peasants.”
Nope, no crop dusting. Crop dusting drops dust particulates which settle out of the atmosphere very quickly or liquid droplets which also cannot persist without evaporation into the atmosphere. Your airspace is part of an Air Force training area. The pilots undergoing the training must pilot their aircraft in certain patterns during such training for reasons of target acquisition and/or navigation.
“Even on days like today with no obvious Etch-a-Sketch sky, it’s a barely-blue sky.”
That’s simply weather sometimes made worse with aircraft contrails.
“Study the GOES imagery and note how Arizona is getting a lot of water vapor out of the pacific ocean due to the latest changes in atmospheric circulation.
