Nice banking shots and great set from your back yard, especially the contrail shots. Nice to know there's a blue tulip still flying. I'm guessing the contrailing Lufthansa A340 is headed to CLT?

your "LHA346" Looks more like a 747 to me, Kiffy.
It's definitely an A340.Quote:

The contrails are also very distinct. A340 trails head straight back while 747 trails overlap about 700ft back.
Here's a quick comparison of contrailing shots. With the the A380, 707, C-5 and C-17 too, why not.

Mark, great shots, middle LH A380 - beautiful photo!
Jesus Christ, that middle a380 shot is fantastic! Nice photo! I'm dying to get the Irish 757.
