2 Contrails Above Poughkeepsie (AM 772 & LH 744) [Archive]

The clouds cleared for a little while so I sat outside spotting some contrails but then the clouds came back. The two most interesting contrails I saw were a Lufthansa 747-400 which came right over my house and the other was the N774AM which is the Aeromexico 777-200 in new colors. She was probably flying MAD-MEX and this was the second time I had seen her over Poughkeepsie.

Hi, nice shots.
