Hello guys !

was drinking some tea for my bad cold today and while looking out the window i saw 2 contrails and figured "if i got 5 minuts i could run real fast and get the scope out in time"

here's the result (pictures taken just after sundown) -Over Cluj Napoca - Romania
A380 - UAE - A6-EDD ( usually this dude was arriving at 14:00 our time but UAE changed some routes for the a380 lately )


I don't know what airline is this 747


closer view:


hope to have more time soon

Hi

Just one for ya:

XA-MXO EGKK-MMMX 30,000FT

[Benighted]

I'm new at this; but after 5 planes I missed because they were too fast (or I was too slow ), I finally could take my first contrail-picture (except those from yesterday at Skystef's home to test the scope).

Not 100% sure, but it seems to be a B747 Lufthansa

[DC10MD11]
