North Western Star Trails & Aircraft Trails
The strict diagonal symmetry of the Western star trails is in contrast with the almost horizontal but more divergent helicopter trails. That’s helicopter highway, they often seem to navigate this region of the city by following the nearby freeway.
The one definite jet aircraft trail in the image appears from the right, having taken off from Sydney’s Mascot Airport and after reaching a height of perhaps 5,000 ft, it banked by what appears to be ninety degrees, to head off in a North Westerly direction towards Asia.
