fly boy3 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Today I saw odd shaped (to me) contrails. Beautiful blue sky with contrails at a perfect 90 degrees shape. Wondered what sort of info was recieved by pilot to achieve such a drastic looking change of direction ? Or is this quite normal.

J D 8 Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 I live under the airway corridor out over the Atlantic. Aircraft come hundreds/thousands of miles streaming straight contrails, some then bank and go another way. Hand brake turn ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Chaddock Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Fb3 Don't assume contrails are only created by civil airliners. The military make they too and fighters can turn really sharp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
