IF... if it was an airplane, how many airplanes were up in the air at that same time WITHOUT leaving a contrail? That is the BUSIEST airspace in the world. 4 major airports.
The plane was at 37,000 feet, cruise altitude, flying to PHX, all the other planes in the area were either on final, or on climb out, so they would not be making contrails like US808 was that day, and the next day. Very simple answer to your question.
The answer is in your question. Sure, there's lots of airplanes coming in and out of the LAX area. Aircraft bound for all those airports will have been descending and well below contrail altitudes for a long time by the time they get close.
Yep.
The busiest airspace in the world and no other contrails in sight...
It’s useless to argue with the morons.
Transponders are required for commercial flights and there is no flight data for the time in question from any of the four airports.
Smells like a missile...
