Nice shots! Thanks for the heads up... I was just reading this as I heard a noise going overhead. By the time I got the camera set up with a new memory card (havn't touched the camera since Dublin on Wednesday), it was just a spec on the horizon! Pitty as there's not a cloud in site here. Still nice to see the mighty A380 though.

Cheers Dave, managed to catch the third one between the heavy showers!

Three A-380s in one day over N.I.?!

Great shots Steve-did`nt see many contrails today here at BFS,some high fliers about,but most didn`t have contrails and were too far north of me to get a decent photo. $:-\$

Steve7 · « **Reply #187 on:** May 23, 2011, 08:46:28 AM »

Cheers Angry.

The C-17 was directly overhead me, here in Carryduff, making it more difficult to get decent shots. Have added the best three.

The contrail from the C-17 remained in the sky for about 25mins, whereas the A-380 contrails vanished in minutes. Why is this? Different heights? Different fuels?

Yep UAE A380 just flew over a few minutes ago

Steve7 · « **Reply #190 on:** May 23, 2011, 04:46:08 PM »

And yet another A-380...how many is that within 24hrs?

You wait for weeks and then five turn up at once

Regarding your question re contrails and the C-17,all jet turbine aircraft use Jet A1 fuel,so I doubt that is the cause,more likely the altitude/temp and probably the shape/size of the engines determine how long the trail lasts.

casper · « **Reply #192 on:** May 24, 2011, 08:58:44 AM »

Didn't you know that the C-17 is probably chemtrailing

lol

Lovely shots,noticed there have been a lot less high flyers over BFS recently,maybe due to the strong winds,aircraft have been taking a more southerly route to avoid the strong headwinds.

Stunning quality there! A 100-400mm and a 5D seems like a killer combo! I caught the Air Berlin A330 aswell

By the way, nice shots Steve of the various A380's and C17!
