3 contails over Sydney

[Andrew P]

about 10.00am, there were 3 contrails over Sydney

all appeared from the east, and over Sydney did a right turn and headed west

each plane was just ahead of the next plane, and slightly to the right of each other.

great to see

Speaking of contrails, I was walking to the pub yesterday and looked up in the sky and I noticed a pair of pink contrails, any idea how they got to be pink?

I also captured this morning's contails at 9.56 am - here are the thumbnails. I have full size for anyone who is interested.

Phil, we must be using different browsers. I can't see the thumbnails.

Were they from the pink Dash-8-400 that Qantas uses?

There were also two nice contrails over head Sydney heading north to south as I was driving home from work at 1715 today. Looked like a Virgin Blue and Qantas without a pair of binoculars at hand and they were quite close laterally.

I noticed these this morning as well ont eh way to YSSY....

Speaking of which if anyone sees me there I've got my new plates (777-JET) so pop over and say hi

The B2 bomber does not leave Contails as the jets hot gasses are cooled prior to leaving the rear of the aircraft.
