Contrail Spotting June 2011

[leedseagle]

Hi there

Had clear morning today very busy airways from west to east US to Europe but pictures were lost due to distance/haze (will have to travel about 20-30 miles south to overcome this)
Only one from overhead

Great shot nonetheless! although there has been quite a lot of cloud coverage lately, the weather seems to be top notch for contrailspotting in between the clouds (considering the time of year). Unfortunately, most transatlantic aircraft seem to be routing much further north than usual, leaving me with nothing to catch
