hey guys.

 

recently went on a short trip to langkawi. on the last day, as i was driving to the airport, i saw a plane on finals, and decided to stop and take a few shots.

 

it was MAS A330 9M-MKX

I tried shooting video in that area (LGK) last year and got some nice footage of 9M-MKX which I flew on earlier, taking off. Then I waited for MH 7 coming in for landing. A good place to shoot still pictures, but for video, the sound of passing vehicles drown out the sweet sound of the planes' engines :angry:

Just wondering, but what causes that criss-crossing of the contrails?

Ken,

 

It's definitely a 747: see those kinda trails a lot overhere of (mainly) flights from Germany to the US/Canada.

 

The trails are like that as the engines are a bit angled outward as viewed from the front...thrust is, therefor, about 10 degrees (rough guess) to the outward sides.

Maybe wingtip vortices...
