Twin Contrails over Penrith.
G'day Everyone.
Just a quick question. Today at about 1345hrs I noticed two relatively fresh contrails running parallel to each other heading in a Nth Est direction over Penrith. Not only is it unusual to see a contrail heading this direction, but two parallel to each other? About 30min later I noticed two aircraft flying side by side forming more contrails, heading in the same direction as the original contrails. Aircraft were at a high altitude and unidentifiable. My guess was a couple of RAAF Hawks tracking towards Richmond and possibly on to Williamtown. First time I have seen over Penrith. Did anyone else see them and know what they were? Wayne |

Hi Wayne
I had a look on Webtrak 1330-1415 and nothing showed up, so either out of range or military. Not sure if RAAF flights show up on WebTrak? Cheers Mark |

Probably the RAAF Hornets and Hawk coming back from Canberra. The did a 4 ship to welcome the new Airforce Chief.

WebTrak only shows aircraft within 55km of the airport and no higher than 3000m (9850ft). |

Hi Robert
Thanks for that. I was aware of the range of Webtrak but not aware of the height limit. Cheers Mark |
