    I want them to pass this.

    It would be interesting how they would enforce it.

    Would they ban all planes? Or maybe just ignore the law? Or maybe start saying “these are not chemtrails, these are contrails, those are ok”.

      If the state decides to ignore any kind of court telling them otherwise, then I would imagine Florida would no longer have flyovers from any airline, and any aircraft capable of producing a contrail or wingtip vortex would no longer operate in the state.

      Goodbye florida airports, I guess.

        Contrails are generated by condensation of water vapor in engine exhaust. They’re not caused by wingtip vortices. All powered aircraft (besides electric ones) will generate contrails under the appropriate conditions. Contrail is in fact a contraction of “condensation trail”.

          That’s why I specified or wingtip vortex.

          In some situations you can see a trail behind a wingtip that can persist. although doesn’t leave the huge vapor cloud that lingers for hours, I have heard plenty of people conspiracy nuts refer to them as “Chem trails” right along with the actual contrail. Living near an airport, you get all kinds of crazy.
