Contrails.... x4 ?

Post by cj9ru » Fri Sep 20, 2019 10:26 am

On way back from dentist near Forfar was entertained by at least 4 possibly more presumably Typhoons doing high energy training. Due to weather all leaving contrails interweaving as they appeared to be chasing each othe. This over Tay Estuary a stones throw from Leuchars. Have never seen this here before. Will try and post picture later
Awesome! 👏

Teesside Cobham Falcons were ; G-FRAS BARLEY21 and G-FRAI BARLEY23 .

Voyager ZZ336 MADRAS52 is off The Forth and there were some 100 Squadron Hawks up earlier too .
Voyager ZZ331 MADRAS51 is off the North Yorkshire coast .
