Was there a military parade or is it just an exercise?

Hi,

4/11/13:
Jetstream behaving badly at the moment forcing a lot of flights either too far north or south. So I decided to take the scope 16 miles south of my home location to get a better view. Contrails forming between FL280-310.

11:57; AAL57 FL270+ LHR-MIA N775AN

13:39; VIR15N FL290+ LGW-MCO G-VAST

Bonus:
Heard a low buzzing sound over the hill to find this Herc lower than me :lol:
13:15; RAF C130 FL :shock:

A picture by the founder of this contrail spotting forum, SkyStef:

Image

And his comment: Philippine Airlines started with their B777-300, five times/week non-stop flights between Manila-London (LHR) on November 4 2013. Since then, they can also be detected in Belgian skies, of course only at cruising levels like this shot of November 13 shows, distance was >15km from my camera. Winter season is great for contrail spotting, but the weather is mostly not.
