what are the smoke lines those planes leave?

Solid state means no GAS filled vacuum tubes, as opposed to SOLID state. Many of our older C130 aircraft still have a vacuum tube ADF, and a few have an autopilot that uses tubes. Tubes don't have moving parts either, and many of our solid state boxes have electromechanical relays in them.
