That kind of pattern is often research aircraft. The NASA WB-57s leave
those trails.

NASA926 and NASA928 are their only WB-57s, well I think. Usually the
ER-2 doesn't leave a pattern
Somewhere on the LazyG I have patterns over the Nellis range. They
were doing them the day I visited the Range 61 camera site IIRC. The
thing with looking for patterns over the Nellis range is you need to
understand the baseline of contrails. There are usually contrails
along route 95 which you see when looking from the east side of the
range towards the west. If you view the range from say the Warm
Springs repeater site (4WD road) looking south, the patterns are
easier to detect. Actually viewing towards the east from the the
prison road leading to Cold Spring would work, and that doesn't
require 4WD.
