Hi,

It's sad that so many posts were lost, but it's no big deal, life must go on :-)

Here are some new observations from this month:

2007/08/02

Flew on UN858, green plane:
A319 VP-BTN Sibir SBI900 EDDF-UUDD
Obrazek

Flew on UM996, practically the only flight I observe to use this airway :-)
B737-400 UR-VVL Aerosvit AEW216 ESSA-UKBB
Obrazek

2007/08/03

Flew on UM870, very rare, Arkia flies to Stockholm only 1x per week and only in summer season. There is something written on the belly, but I can't read it off, too little zoom :-(
B757-300 4X-BAU Arkia AIZ548 ESSA-LLBG

2007/08/09

19:27 Flew on UN858, nice blue colors:
B747-200F VP-BIA Air Bridge Cargo ABW266 EDDF-UUEE
Obrazek

19:58 Flew on UN858:
A320 Air France AFR2544 LFPG-UUEE

Thank's Asdrius!
Nice Arkia, I love B757 and the 300 version is really rarely view at our sky, I don't remember if I have seen it any time.

Hi

Asdrius J'm fond of B747 Air Bridge Cargo since I've seen him 8 days ago first time in life. Last day during stay at the Baltic seaside and 50 minutes before return to home that plane made surprise :-) 10 days still waiting for plane has brought profit.

Hello,

My trip to Wales was very successful for contrailspotting, nearly everyday had clear skies and there were plenty of contrails. I stayed near the Brecon VOR (BCN) which surrounds airways UL9, UN14, UN38, UN864, UL180, and UN862.

Here is an airspace map of the location, as you can see the skies were a lot busier on holiday than at home!:

A pic of 3 contrails on the UL9 airway:

Now onto the telescope pictures. I'll try to add as much info as I can but it was difficult to identify most flight numbers and what airway they were on.
# = Unknown Flight no.

Wow, a lot of nice, clear pics. Holiday well spent ;-). I especially like that Delta 767-400 flying below other contrail.

Super!

The Galaxy kicks some ass really hard!!! One of the best RNAV pictures i ever saw. IMHO with great potential on airliners or jetphotos - with proper postprocessing.

Hello,

Thanks for all the comments!

nice to see you saw Arkia, Asdrius, I have never seen one myself and they are very rare over the UK.

Yesterday I only made one picture, as you can see lots of radiation during the summer spoils photos :-(

Hi,

ContrailsUK - now I see what heat radiation can do :-) For me it's not a big problem yet, my equipment is not powerful enough for radiation to make a difference :-)

Made some shots on wednesday evening. On other days weather was also clear, but no contrails on planes :-(

Another summer highlight for me - Astraeus 757. Rare 1x weekly flight , late in the evening, only on summer visible in daylight. I have been trying to catch it whole summer :-)
