Many people like beaches, others like crashes. I like to see the beauty and the power of a bird in flight.
The soft bed of clouds contrasting the turbulent clouds created by the engines, the sun shining on the back of the airplane.
Simply magnificent.

This is an excellent photo. I always love watching the exhaust coming out of the planes at 30,000 feet. It is very entertaining!

You can just see how the vortexes on wing tips turn the vapour around... This is aerodynamics for real. And the photo is marvelous too.

Someone mentioned air pollution. I suggest using google and searching contrails. It's NOT pollution, it's the plane making it's own 'clouds'.

WOW!! One summer back in the '90s, I got invited to spend some time in the jumpseat of a BA 777 flying LHR-DXB, and I saw exactly this going in the opposite direction somewhere over Iran. I always regretted not having a camera on hand at the time, but the image has remained in my mind for almost 10 years - Thanks Josef!!!

As another posted commented, yes the plane is making its own clouds in a way, and by doing so there is a dissucssion on A.Net about how the clouds are contributing, in a small part, to global warming.

Puts contrails into perspective. It's different to see them this close up, as opposed from 30,000 feet beneath.

The thing that makes this photo so great for me is that it captures both the calmness of that place above the clouds that I love, but also the speed and power of the aircraft.

It´s almost impossible to describe the beauty of this photograph. It can make people dream, even those not interested in aviation. For a 747 fanatic like me, who never flew in one, it gives a unique perspective, a sense of endearment. The best airplane ever made on its element, caught on a truly magical moment, like a child`s dream, the dream of flight, and the majesty of the QUEEN. 747`S forever!!!!

Excelent Picture..! Its a non plus ultra..! By the way sometimes I see the Sky from my home and I see Planes making this...Contrails or trails, Domestics or international Flighs.., What means this when they pass over a determined area or Country, What means this..? He is Saluting or Something...?
