Contrail spotting September 2012

[sn26567]

Thanks for all your pictures of August 2012.

As I will not be available on 1 September, I am already opening this thread today, for your pictorial sightings of September 2012.

[Kopinet]

Must have had some luck today, as there were interesting aircraft to see . From time to time there were moments of blue sky and few clouds - but no contrails (you can´t have everything).

Sadly I only have the picture, not the sound of the engines.

Here it is :

Thanks for embedding this video, I love to work with professionals

Hi to you all.
Pictures below taken today with the new kenko 1.4 lens----------------Today was about 20c with a hazy sky and photos taken 14.00--18.00 with the high sun .
Most OTT aircraft routing west in FRANCE so only a few coming my way.

C/C WELCOME PLEASE.

I am very happy with the kenko lens if you take into account todays high sun/temperature/haze.

No flight details apart from the ATLAS AIR BOEING 767 which was N642GT--GTI2134.

The CARGOLUX was taken a long way off+Had 4 ATLAS AIR FLIGHTS TODAY-All going east(3x B747+1X B767)







































All the best

Great catch

[contrailwatcherUK]

Awesome catch of the two luftys overtaking DC10MD11, glad the kenko works well! I also spotted the Transaero 747 going overhead here too but I was in town at the time so I just had to watch it with the naked eye. Still waiting for it to get nice and cold here... bring on winter!

[Kopinet]

Hello, just another couple of A380s. Now as the summer heat seems to leave hopefully the sky will clear up.

@DC10MD11: looks like you picked a day when Lufthansa personnel were not striking

Some wonderful shots guys. I never cease to be amazed at these pics that you post. Living in Cambridge means that I miss out on all the high level traffic overflying London and further south. Get to see them on Flightradar24 though. We do get a lot of Air France, Swiss, sometimes US Airways, United, Ryanair, Easyjet, Thomson, Aer Lingus, KLM and Lufthansa MD11s, and a fair amount of biz jet traffic. Have occasionally seen the Egyptair 777 CAI-JFK, but not for a sometime now.

Nice collection of biz jets!

[contrailwatcherUK]

Hi,

2 photos from this week. Conditions improving as Autumn approaches with fresher weather....

12/09/12:
KLM743 AMS-LIM FL320 PH-BQB, in great conditions & lighting, but no contrail!


13/09/12:
LOT15 WAW-EWR FL320 SP-LPB, a rare sight in my area, usually routes over Scotland but due to the jetstream they routed much further south.



James.

[sn26567]

Very sharp pics indeed!

[Ian K]

Wow.. The KLM is superb James
