why do pilots say roger ?

It's just condensation of the water vapor in the engine's exhaust. Under normal atmospheric conditions, the relative humidity at altitude is very low and the water vapor evaporates almost instantly. However, when the relative humidity is abnormally high it condenses into a visible cloud and may remain visible for several hours.

It's called a "CONTRAIL", condensation of moisture from combustion in the engine trails out with the exhaust gases leaving the engine. The water vapor freezes at the high altitude, leaving a white cloud behind, this can be quite dramatic at sunrise, or sunset in a clear sky, very cool too (I think), I look for them a lot !

it is a condensation trail because when the aircraft is that high there is moisture in the air and when the air goes through the engine the water particles get close together and form a cloud.....a typically very short lasting cloud but it still is a cloud!
