Re: Contrail Spotting May 2011
Nice capture, I eyeballed the same plane when it passed over my way. It was doing laps over the british isles for about 3 days stopping at Mildenhall each night. Unfortunately for me the sky was hazy so there was no point in a photo.leedseagle wrote:GOTO FMS REG:164409 Boeing E6A Mercury US Navy 26000FT Heading 360* on UY250 Sunset

Re: Contrail Spotting May 2011
I find these conditions are the best for photography especially for those aircraft inbound to LHR and are at about 8000ft, like you say the sky is usually really clear and the aircraft are lit up underneath by the white clouds.contrailwatcherUK wrote:The weather was showery and there were quite a lot of gaps of clear blue sky in the clouds. It gave quite a nice effect because the light was reflecting off the clouds and back onto the belly of the aircraft.

Hi,
some photos of 19th May, great military day!
Boeing 777 (Emirates) - contrail makes the shadow
Boeing C17 Globemaster III (Royal Air Force) and Lockheed TriStar (Royal Air Force) -> great view
I knew a long time what is this plane. On zoom on the camera I saw American star on this plane. According to the appearance I knew it is Boeing 707 and I searching on Google...
It is .... Northrop Grumman E-8 Joint STARS (USAF)
and cross Airbus A320 (Austrian Arrows)

Re: Contrail Spotting May 2011
Hello,
Weather today was windy with showers, had to battle with the telescope against the strong gusts of wind.
SLM993 PZ-TCP FL320 AMS-PBM UN20.
I finally caught this one with the sun shining on it (usually it routes perfectly along the airway and becomes backlit from the sun). It was actually raining when I took the second shot, a short shower passed when the aircraft was directly overhead.
CLX855 TF-NAC FL330 ORD-LUX UM140.
Special "national" livery operating for cargolux airlines.
That's all for now
