Title: Contrail Photo Thread - 2010 Part 2
Post by: casper on August 14, 2010, 07:23:23 PM
Thought I'd start a Part 2 as the the other thread was getting a bit long.

Lot of activity today. Photographed a few but this one caught my eye. Any ideas what it might be?

Austrian Airlines 767 with winglets Casper. I didn't see any contails today or for the past month!!! I saw a cargolux 747F yesterday when at BHD but alas, no contail.

Thanks Dave. I probably saw around a dozen contrails today, one I think was a C-17 - it was in and out of cloud and my photo isn't great.

You're always catching the C-17's! Jammy!  ;D  Aparently tomorrow and Monday should provide some more clear weather.

Apparently this July was the dullest in Northern Ireland since 1927 so not too surprising that Contrails have been rare to say the very least.
 
Noticed this B.747 last week just before the Reds returned to BFS.
Don`t know the operator,but was pleased to catch the anti-collison light lit.

The photos were taken on 10/11/2010, 0926hrs, the A-380 was spotted flying directly over (my house) Carryduff, and according to flightradar, was flying from the U.S. to France.

Hi Steve,

The last bunch of pics wouldn't happen to be around lunchtime today by any chance? If so I think I saw the at least the last couple of items there - I noted a B747 British Airways followed behind by a B767 United over both going Eastbound over Belfast at 12:30

Good man Casper! Glad to see you have got the camera to the sky again-thick fog here(near BFS) all day so haven`t seen a thing!
 
2nd shot looks like a Pakistan A330.
3rd is an A340 but can`t see any markings.
 
Maybe Dave can help out with this?

2nd shot looks like a Pakistan A330.
3rd is an A340 but can`t see any markings.
 
Maybe Dave can help out with this?

Sure thing,

2) is PIA 777-200LR (registered AP-BGZ, they only have two LR's... one in new livery one in the old livery)[Yes, I'm a contrail geek :D ]
3) is a Lufty A340-300, grey belly and I think there blue and yellow on the tail.

Nice catches.

Thanks guys. I found a great wee iPhone app called Plane Finder (£2.99) and it is nearly realtime. Well worth looking in to.

Angry, were those taken with your 500mm lens?

The first pic of the Virgin 747 is very sharp considering how high up it would have been.  :)

Yes they were,it`s the only lens I have-must look for a 18-55mm for ordinary shots.
 
I highly recommend Sigma lenses as they are excellent quality and great value.
