contrail / KON-treyl \ noun


a visible condensation of water droplets or ice crystals from the atmosphere, occurring in the wake of an aircraft, rocket, or missile under certain conditions

I figured I might as well ignore the dictionary and make my own...flightless birds have always intrigued me, anyhow.
