That is a snapshot of Airplane trails with a scale of .10.
I made progress by setting the X value of the function editor to 0. But the lines were now symmetrical in one direction, as if a whole squadron of jets flew side by side.
It's quite easy to reproduce - just add the Airplane trails clouds - I'm not doing anything complicated.
The contrail effect is mostly created by the Lines noise node that's connected to the Transparency in the function editor.
We don't have much control over how the pattern is repeated because it's a noise node. So try replacing it with an image map consisting of a fuzzy, thin horizontal black line on a white background. Vue repeats the image map across the sky, but you can adjust the UV scale to achieve a single contrail like the above example.
With a little work on the image map, the blending of the noise node and the UV mapping, I hope you can use this idea to create the effect you're looking for.
