Walking down Avenue A, last night this trail looked like it came out of The HOR.

I was amazed that my dmc-fz5 was able to get this much detail, handheld. One of you must be able to identify the aircraft. I’ve been seeing a lot of trails in the sky lately. There probably is an ideal temperature and pressure for forming such fluffy clouds. Is it that recent weather at jet flying altitude has been just right? Any meteorologist, or aviation expert, care to enlighten me?

I’m using a Word Press plug-in to copy comments made in my Flickr stream onto their posts in the GammaBlog. In general it does a good job. But they often don’t make sense in the context of the blog post.

probably - scandinavian airlines. if this is the case, then its likely to be an airbus.
