Streaking at Sunset The "smoke" trails that appear behind some aircraft are actually known as contrails and are in fact water vapor. The warm moist air that comes from the jet mixes with the cold air in the sky. It creates a condensation trail or contrail for the same reason you can sometimes see your breath. Some people say you can predict the weather with contrails. If you see one and it dissipates quickly, there is low humidity and you can expect fair weather. But if it is thick and hangs around for a long time, then there is high humidity and rain may be in the forecast.

The Bamboo Bomber Cessna built the first examples of the "Bamboo Bomber" Cessna UC78 (T-50) Bobcat before WWII as a business-feeder airline aircraft. During the war, many were produced as a multi-engine trainer for future bomber pilots. The airplane was nicknamed “Bamboo Bomber” because of its one piece, 42’ wooden wing. After WWII hundreds of examples were sold for surplus to civilian owners. It sports retractable landing gear and a spacious, five-person cabin. But since it is small, many were not parked in hangers and the elements have reduced their numbers, with only a few still airworthy.
