Hello,
I didn't have an opportunity to post for long time. Summer is not a good time to sit near computer.
Some of my contrail spotting views from last week:
2008/07/09
18:25 UM998, heading west; PODIL-KRAKI
An-124 Volga-Dnepr
My first ever An-124 picture. Flew far away, 40 km distance from my home, but still it's easy to recognise the type
2008/07/11
17:48 UL29
B747-200F Air China Cargo; CAO1041 ZBAA-EDDF
17:57 UN858
B757-200 G-CPEO British Airways; BAW874 EGLL-UUDD
British Airways usually send's 767 to Moscow, but this time I got something a bit different.
18:16 UN858 at FL350
A320 VP-BFY Vladivostok Avia; VLK716 EDFH-UUWW
18:36 UN858, FL310
B747-400 PH-BFT KLM; KLM887 EHAM-VHHH
This one was crusing lower, at FL310, and did not produce any contrail.
18:44 UL29, climbing from FL280 to FL300
B737-400 PH-BDW KLM; KLM906 UUEE-EHAM
This KLM 737 flew much lower than usual, and also no contrail.
18:46 UN858, at FL350
B737-300 EI-CBQ Kras Air; KJC316 EDDV-UUDD
19:44, UN858 at FL390
EMB-135BJ Legacy OE-IGR
19:50 UN858, at FL370
A318 F-GUGO Air France; AFR2544 LFPG-UUEE
Baby Airbus
That's all

Hello,
some more observations from Saturday:
2008/07/12
Due to huge Cb clouds forming on Lithuanian-Belarus border in afternoon on Saturday many planes deviated from normal airways.
16:36
A319 F-GRXF Air France; AFR1945; UUEE-LFPG
Flew 15km away from usual airway and right above me
16:40
B747-400 Korean Air Lines
This 747 also was coming straight for me, but too many clouds blocked view as it approached the zenith.
17:27 UL29
A340-600 D-AIHC Lufthansa; DLH713; RKSI-EDDF
This one flew on normal airway, probably the storm moved away at that time. Star Alliance colors.
17:45 UN858 at FL370
A310-200 VP-BTL Sibir; SBI892 EDDL-UUDD
On the evening I saw three Kazakhstan planes flying home, with equal 15min separation between and on the same altitude:
20:59 UN858, at FL350
B757-200 P4-EAS Air Astana; KZR924 EDDV-UAUU
21:14 UN858, at FL350
B757-200 P4-FAS Air Astana; KZR902 EGLL-UAAA

B737-300 EI-CXN Transaero; TSO310; EDDT-UUDD
21:26 UN858

17:49 UN858
A310 F-OHCZ Sibir; SBI900 EDDF-UUDD
There are still some white planes in very green Sibir fleet
18:00 UL29
A310 German Air Force, heading west, most probably back to Germany.
First time I see German government A310 flying.
18:39 UM874 at FL240
B200 KingAir N242NA, heading west
Overflying turboprops at cruise altitude are rare in my location.
19:50 UL29 at FL340
EMB-135 Legacy P4-SIS
Embraers are becoming very popular bizjets around here.
20:21 UN858
MD-11F VP-BDQ Aeroflot Cargo; RCF906 EDFH-UUEE
First time I see Aeroflot's MD-11. Finally they replaced their DC-10's.

Hello everyone, I just got back from my holiday in Turkey.
here are some photos I took through my window whilst in flight:
Firstly, near Belgium/Germany border I saw an emirates 777:
Over germany this jet passed over (anyone know what it is?):
On the journey back, I caught this thomsonfly 737 cruising with us over Belgium:
Unfortunately most aircraft had no contrail :x

In my opinion it's LTU. Probably A330.

Hello,
Nice air-to air shots. Especially Emirates pic. I know it's very hard to catch opposite traffic from passenger seat. They appear with no warning and move very fast. :)
As for that unknown, I think Karol is right. It's looks like B737 and paintjob is similar. It doesn't look like A330.
Some of my catches:
2008-07-27
20:54 UN858
A340-600 Lufthansa; DLH712 EDDF-RKSI
21:27 UN858
TU-154M RA-85807 Ural Airlines; SVR3750 EDDL-USSS
This Tupolev became regular for me on summer sunday evenings. Really nice to see it flying.
