Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
I have no clue what these planes are, but they fly over my house and it's fun to take photos of them. I hope they will interest some others. All taken today 1st of April 2010.

Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
I dont have a Scope like most of the guys have over here, but with maximum zoom of my Sony H-50 Digital Camera, I captured a Korean Air Boeing 777-200 ER making contrails, flying south west over city of Peshawar, Pakistan (right over my roof top) on Air Route G325 towards Middle East. I guess the jet is flying around FL350
Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
And another one around 5 kms away from my home as an Etihad Airlines Airbus A320 (Formula 1 Grand Prix Livery) climbs out of Peshawar Airport (PEW) at FL150 in direction of VOR HANGU, going towards Abu Dhabi in Middle East. No Contrails

Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
Indeed DC10MD11, the best conditions are over, but last winter we had overhere hardly sun. When I was a bit younger, if I recall well, must go back to 1929 to see so few rays of sunshine in Belgium. So not much joy either.
Thx Raza_Ali for sharing your pics from Pakistan.
Here one of last Saterday: British Airways B777-200 G-YMMF at 38000 ft enroute Male-Gatwick as BAW2042

Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
Hi,
DC10MD11, A rare opportunity to capture two aircraft in the same frame through the scope so well done.
Don't be so dissapointed about the summer conditions. Remember you can make some interesting sunrise/sunset contrail photos!
Some from the weekend:
BAW2159...still contrailing at FL270 in April
CLX771
CLX775
a 747 contrailing through a "sundog" in the distance
a ryanair 737 descending to LGW at sunset:

Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
just found this link indicater for heatwaves
http://chp.decc.gov.uk/heatmap/
As you can see heat coming out of Leeds and Bradford probably explains distortion in my pictures
The clear patch of moorland to the west of Bradford is where Pole Hill is situated

Re: Contrail spotting April 2010
On Thursday I woke up to see a lot of contrails trailing down the um140 airway. Normally I would only see about 5 or 6 aircraft on this airway per day, so it was unusual to see so many aircraft. I did not know about the volcano until i heard the news on the radio that morning. I was astonished when I turned on my computer and saw this on the radar screen:
I managed to get a couple of snaps before work:
Swiss A330
CSA A310
Evergreen 747
Kuwait 777
KLM A330
Tranaero 777
KLM 777
Swiss A330
US AF 767???
