Anyone see what looked like a C-17 heading west around 6:50pm?

Angry Turnip · « **Reply #151 on:** May 03, 2011, 09:18:55 PM »

I think I saw that Casper,was to the south of me,but did look like a C-17,had a T-tail anyway,but couldn`t see it clearly enough for a photo.

Took these Mon evening (I think or poss Sun

) mixed up due to holidays.

Boeing B747 unknown airline-thought might be ANA Cargo,but that`s a guess.

Nice catch, seems to be an Air Bridge Cargo 747F

Yes Dave you are correct,thank you

-I looked up B747 operators in wikipedia but Air Bridge Cargo wasn`t listed-I think they are part of the Volga group that operate the AN-124 and AN-225

Some more recent stuff:

BA B767 and one I took as it was a bit too close to the sun.

A340 but not sure of operator.

Very nice. Do you not get funny looks when you point your camera at the sky and not at the track

Oh yes, but then they all look up, that is the best part!

Very nice Steve,sky looks very clear,and free from the misty goup that sometimes lingers over Aldergrove where I am.

I only ever seem to see Emirates aircraft flying overhead

The A380 was the first contrail photo I've taken where I've been able to read the registration under the wing... turns out it was A6-EDE, the aircraft which had the catering truck fall on the wing.

Those are stunning shot`s Dave-I rarely see Emirates stuff, BA,Air France,Lufthansa and Delta are the most common ones I see.
Some from the past few weekends-most taken early morning,which is RARE for me.

Caught this 747F going overhead recently. Had a Kalitta Air callsign, but didn't realise they had a yellow/white scheme.
