As I will be a few days without internet, I open already the topic for your contrail pictures of June 2013.

Good luck!

Lugged out the scope briefly last night and got the following:

Hello,

after a lengthy pause caused by the bad weather and poor conditions, along with the sun the fun came back. Although the traffic in my area noticeably decreased because airlines cancelled many routes or some even went out of business, there are still a few highlights from time to time. And the dreamliner is back in the air. :D
I wonder if the A350 will develop smoothly... :lol:

Regards
