"You're right. I was an hour off. What difference does it make?"
You're kidding right? An hour off? It makes a lot of difference.
"It was still at 33k ft. at 5:30 when it crossed the coastline. That is at least ten minutes after Warren's pics show that it stopped leaving a contrail."
At 5:30 it was still 42 miles west of the coastline. And who says it was leaving a contrail when I crossed the coastline?
"Besides, the "altitude difference is why it stopped contrailing" theory has been dropped. It's now "the air over the ocean is more humid (at 30+k ft. LOL) than it is over land."
What are you talking about? Dropped by who? Do you think there is some official panel discussing this issue?
"You're a case study in a sheeple that believes anything with a fancy picture attached to it."
Though it will fly right over your head, the irony of your statement is that it is YOU who believes something based solely on a picture. I rely on all the facts and data.
At 5:30 it was still 42 miles west of the coastline. You were partially right. At 5:31 it was crossing Santa Catalina Island. Which is about 25 miles from Long Beach and almost due south. Airport Monitor
And who says it was leaving a contrail when I crossed the coastline?
That is the point. It magically stopped creating a contrail at 5:19 while it was at 39k ft. even though it continued to maintain 39k ft. until 5:27. The following pic will show you when the contrail stopped.
What are you talking about? Dropped by who? Do you think there is some official panel discussing this issue?
The people discussing it are the people discussing it. If you want to stick to the old worn out theory about altitude you're free to.
