Vapour trail over Hobart

[Ryan K]

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.

Qantas 63-64Joburg flight?

Does that flight come so far south?

[Dan Hammond]

Its known to travel that far south on the odd occasion

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.
