I've often wondered if JP4 produced more smoke than JET-A1 (JP1).

We used it a bit on the Electra when operating from US air bases.
Mind you the Electra makes enough smoke any way.

Another really smokey aircraft was the Convair 990A. They used to leave a trail that could be seen for many miles on a calm day.
