Hi,
I got up early today to catch the morning rush of air traffic and took these photos through my telescope:

Finally, I managed to shoot some contrails in 2006! :-p
3 pics; 2 known, 1 request...

Lufthansa A300

My request: an A330, but from which company... I already had Egyptair, Cyprus Airways (my biggest bet...), Thomas Cook,... in my mind, but are there things to notice so that I could be sure of the company?

I see some blue under the elevators (don't know if it's me :p), but the paint on the tails of both Egypt and Cyprus stop before the elevator. So the only chance would be Thomas Cook, but there is no blue belly so Don't knowGlider wrote:My request: an A330, but from which company...

Tot hier en verder
@ Glider.
Cyprus Airways A330, was logged around 1500LT as CY0358 en route LCA-MAN.
Egyptair A330 was logged around 1600LT as MS0777 en route CAI-LHR.
Perhaps next time add a time too, the ones above were logged over England, so deduct around 20 minutes.

@ Glider,
also possible is an A330 of Iberworld!
check: http://www.airliners.net/open.file/0481476/L/
One A330 was flying paramaribo-Amsterdam today, arrivaltime at EHAM was 1026 local time

Okay next time add the direction too, makes it a lot easier, and perhaps try to avoid making belly shots. When I make such shots without a decent chance to identify, they all end in my trash basket.Glider wrote:it was after 5 PM that I saw the plane flying from west to east. So maybe it's a return flight of one of those that you mentioned...
E bound sector of MS was 1748LT and CY 1740LT, also observed over England. So add around 20 minutes for Belgium.
The Iberworld is no option to me, never saw one cruising W-E or vice versa.
I have a slight favour for CY, I see them often, the MS not a single time.

It's a B744 of JAL.Flanders wrote:Seen at sunday 9 april, 20h, above Bornem (somewhere between Antwerp and Brussels). Definetly a 747. First thought was Air Canada... but I doubt it... any idea? and yes indeed , bad quality, forgot to enable digital zoom... PS: It was going eastbound.
This was my shot of an B742(F), just to show the c/s.
