Is this a waste of fuel?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) December 24th, 2009

For years, i have noticed that before landing, many commerical passenger jets appear to be dumping fuel in the air, before landing. most leave two streams of fuel that exit in the rear of each wing. is this jet fuel? if so, this seems like a waste of money and fuel.
