Did they improve the con-trails so that you can see them from more than 6 miles away?? And with all the new cloud variations and the more advanced weather, will that have any affect on the type (puffy long or tight and disipates quickly) and the altitude in which the trail forms??

And when the plane's taxi off the runway do they do it more sensibly than just going at .5 knots to the taxiway across town?? I know there is an App you can use to speed up the taxiing at the airports, but it doesnt help a bit when they are getting off the runways.


Thanks.

I do know for sure that the contrails appear to be dependant on the actual weather conditions now rather than just turning on at FL300 automatically - one of the shots someone posted showed a 737 at FL270 I think it was with contrails.
