On Saturday over Vilnius I saw unusually large number of big airplanes flying from North America to Middle East on UM870 airway. But atmospheric conditions were horrible. Lots of haze, visibility 5-7km. I could see contrailing airplanes only for 1-2 minutes when they were almost above me. Still I tried to get some pictures:
