Fall Contrail

When I was a boy, someone told me that the Strategic Air Command had a jet in the air all times, covering all the U.S.  I of course had seen Jimmy Stewart's "Strategic Air Command" movie, so I knew they used high flying jets to protect us from Commies.  So every contrail I saw, I thought it was SAC.  I remember getting worried one day when I say a bunch of the vapor trails criss-crossing the sky like a tic-tac-toe game.

Taken one morning in my driveway before leaving for work.
