the size of the contrail would be thin when close to the aircraft, dispersed more the further you go away from the aircraft and where it’s just been the longer time to disperse, the wider the plume that plume is created too fast, is too wide for a simple aircraft,

Uh huh. A priori reasoning doesn't have anything to do with physical reality:

Remember, this one was an MD-11 too. 3 Engines that are much closer together overall then spread out across winds. Trijets and MD-80’s tend to look like having 1 big output from that.

proving my point

look how thin it is next to the jet exhaust

then, look at it MILES back, it is much wider but CLEARLY distinctive of each engine!!

I been around planes many years, grew up near an airport, worked in aviation in the Marines and for 11 years afterwards and am back in aviation now, so, try someone else to convince
