2 I wonder if you could emit chemicals out of jet exhaust to change what’s happening with the weather.

4 No, seriously. Could you add something (silver iodide) to the jet fuel of all the aircraft flying over a particular region to boost rainfall? The instances of cloud seeding involve actual spraying chems like a crop duster at 30k altitude. It's a thought.

6 ^ While ejecting tennis balls out the jet exhaust may not increase rainfall, it would make for an interesting sport.

Bonus Question: What is the airspeed velocity of a regulation tennis ball dropped from 30K feet?

7 That a Hassan II tennis ball, or a Wimbledon?
