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:

Nice John ! The A380 is great :)

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

John those are great especially A380. Are you just using your regular camera and 100-400mm?

[lijk604]

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.
