It is always fun to watch the variations of cloud shapes when looking out of the planes window. The following article helps you to understand them and
be able to look at them from a scientific point of view.
First lets take a look at a very useful drawing on pacificislandtravel.com:

Stratus
Stratus clouds are thin, soft clouds. The thinner ones never bring any rain, but they can evolve into nimbostratuses that shower us with that so called
light rain. Stratus clouds may appear on lower and higher levels of the athmoshphere.
Here are some pictures of stratus clouds.

I couldnt find any contact information for you so I thought I would just leave a comment. I came across your website recently and it is great! Your
commitment to helping people get the best travel information possible is really impressive.
I wanted to let you know as a part of your commitment to helping people, there is an interesting new website called http://www.viewpoints.com that
has a philosophy similar yours: a website for consumers, by consumers focused on product & service reviews. Anyway, it is dedicated to unbiased
and unfiltered reviews about consumer products and services. You can read about everything from airlines and credit cards to resort hotels.
The site has more than 150k reviews right now and because it is serving the same purpose that you are committed to, I thought it only natural to
send this information along.
Hope you have a minute or two to check it out!
Heres to consumer advocacy!! And, thanks for all your effort working on behalf of people.
Rachel

I know Im WAY off topic, but I just dont know where to post this comment, and Im hoping you can help;
Have you had any reports of BED BUGS at the David Intercontinental Hotel in Tel Aviv, Israel?
My husband is a 777 FO Continental Airlines traveling frequently to TLV. In fact, as Im writing this, hes boarding his commute flight in Newark
headed home to Phoenix and hes sporting dozens of very itchy little red bites which we strongly suspect are Bed Bug bites.
When he mentioned the bites to the front desk at checkout yesterday, he was pretty much poo-pood, but I take the matter very seriously. As a
former corporate travel manager, I had many occasions to deal with travelers returning from hotel stays (some in 5-star hotels) with Bed Bug bites.
Many who brought the little biters home to their families in suitcases unknowingly.
Id be very interested to know if you or any of your readers have had recent problems at the David. Any information you can share will be
appreciated.

what you refer to as plane gas looks exactly like persistent contrails or chemtrails
is it still plane gas when it extends from horizon to horizon, forming parallel lines and sometimes criss-crossing lines?
and why do the plane gas lines merge and cause the entire sky to become overcast with a light grey color? i recently counted 12 plane gas trails
within the space of an hour and then, within another hour the entire blue sky was blotted out by the plane gas

Hey guys how is it goin? I loved those pictures of you. Now, let me tell ya, that the second pic of the group Cirrus Clouds is not depicting plain
gas since planes dont fly that vertically. In my opinion, Those chemtrails are suggesting flying divases of a diferent nature, u know what I mean
