Contrail Photos Above Poughkeepsie

[Iberia A340-600]

Over the past couple of weeks I have taken notice of the amount of contrail that fly over Poughkeepsie including low heavies so today I decided I would photograph some.

This is from about an hours worth of sitting outside with my neck turned towards the sky. I will add more photos to this thread as the day goes on.

Contrail #1 (Some A320)


Contrail #2 (Some 737-400)


Contrail #3 (Southwest 737-300, I actually saw this one on Flightaware)


Contrail #4 (Lufthansa 747-400)

Contrail #5 (Air France 747-400)


Contrail #6 (World DC-10)


Contrail #7 (Virgin Atlantic A340-600 heading towards JFK)

I can assure you that Southwest plane is actually a 737-700.

I can tell because of the winglets and also because of the slight discoloring under the wing which would be the red canoes which signify the -700 varient for SWA.


But excellent contrail pics!!

Thanks for pointing that out Alex, I was under the impression that Southwest had started to install winglets on their -300 fleet.

Here are some more contrails from today and some planes heading towards JFK.

They have only installed one -300 with winglets, N368, and it is still on the ground.
