joe soap Posted October 9, 2018 Share Posted October 9, 2018 Watching the vapour trails of two VERY HIGH airliners this afternoon I then noticed another aircraft which looked more like the shape of a glider with very long thin wings. The strange bit was that it appeared to pass ABOVE the airliner's vapour trial. Don't suppose anyone else saw this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, U-2 variants are still flown occasionally and they resemble gliders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joe soap Posted October 10, 2018 Author Share Posted October 10, 2018 You are right Altus, at such a distance crossing the vapour trail was a momentary thing followed by a thought of 'Did I really see that!' What was more definate and strange was seeing what looked like a light aircraft anywhere near the hight that you would only see airliners and then notice them only because of the trail, no noise to be heard. The plane on the link that you sent certainly has the appearance of the one I was watching. Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
