Evolution of the STS-117 noctilucent contrail as the sun got progressively lower below the horizon as seen from Satellite Beach, Florida. Some of the variations in overall picture brightness are artifacts of the particular exposure settings of the individual images.

I don't see many contrails that arc. Thirteen minutes after sunset.

Like smoke rings, these kilometers long trails, curled into hundreds rings, making the flat blue afternoon sky very funny.
Even a plane's contrails had decoration in Budapest. I liked the matching crenelation of the building with the contrail.
Airplane contrails in the sky, one airplane made a turn before landing in Beldringe airport nearby, now known as H.C. Andersen Airport.
I'm not sure what kind of plane this is, but it has three engines. The third one is in the center, like an L1011. This plane is not shaped right for that model, though. So what is it?
The center contrail does an interesting thing, where it rebounds off the layer created by the two wing engines' contrails, and rises above that plane. That's what drew my attention to this contrail. It turns out that I caught the airplane pretty well too, so all in all the picture is kinda fun for me!
Note: I've identified this plane an MD-11.
