Contrail spotting January 2013

Post by sn26567 »

A year is ending, a new year is starting. Hopefully a great year for contrail spotting with new aircraft and new airlines.

This is the place to put your pictures for the first month of the new year, January 2013

Not a unique case. For example, most of the LOT aircraft are not on flightradar24, except for their widebodies and some E190s.

Hello,

after seeing the sun yesterday for probably the first time this year, I was able to take some pictures, and it felt really good to have blue skies again :D . Nice surprise was the RJ100, which was my first from this airline. So that´s quite a good start for this year and after some difficulties getting my new cam working properly, I´m looking forward for what may be waiting above.
But it was a short sunny period as it started snowing today. :roll:

Regards

Kopinet

Nice shots, DC10MD11.
The RAF ZZ330 is sometimes at HAJ and I saw it there a couple of days ago. :)

Best wishes
