Vapour trail over Hobart
Hi.
Around 4pm on Sunday 19th April, there was a very high vapour trail from a jet over Hobart. The aircraft was travelling in a south - north direction. Does anyone know where this aircraft may have been travelling from? Rarely do you see a vapour trail in southern Tasmania. Cheers. |

Sounds like QF18 from Buenos Aires to Sydney, Flight arrives in Sydney at 1750 local on Sunday Arvo.

QF63 is normally landed in Sydney by that time so doubt it was that, plus they normally track down the west coast of Tas and quite a way out into the ocean.

Most likely to be, as everyone else has said, from Joburg as I've seen flights from joburg to Aus flying very south, on a qantas flight tracker program.

Please refrain from quoting the whole previous post in your post, it is not necessary, thank you - mod
Never quite understood why some continue to promote as likely things that are not, even after previous posters have illustrated a much more probable (and demonstratable) scenario. QF64 was on the blocks at SYD at 14:19 so hardly likely to be over Hobart at 16:00 QF18 arrived SYD at 17:34 so that is much more likely to be over Hobart at that time. |

Could it also have been a USAF C-17 flight from McMurdo, or perhaps the Australian Antarctic Division's A319 headed to MEL???

Talking about QF63 - I noted this track the other day, one of the most southerly routes I have seen her take.
