    Contrail Spotting Jan 1, 2012

    Couldn't make it out to JFK, so I had to settle for spotting from the backyard. Some nice skies, and good contrails gave me a few interesting grabs:
    Sunwing 737-800


    Lufthansa A330


    Condor 767-300


    Air Berlin A330


    Thomas Cook A330


    Thomsonfly B767-300


    Finally...Lufthansa A380 directly over the house

    Great stuff John! When I do contrail shooting at my house I only get a majority of 737s and 717s. But, if I get off my butt and cut down about 50 trees in my back yard I'll have a clear view of some good traffic like that. haha

    Thanks guys & yes Manny, 7D with the 100-400. No extenders. Gotta thank Planefinder for the heads up's, these birds flew over exactly as they should have according to the app.

    Excellent contrail collection! Not enough people look high up to see what's passing overhead.

    Very well done John! Phil is right.
