The view or two from my "office"

Not something you see in PER everyday. Contrails. VA flight passing over to BQB

Contrails over PER are quite unusual, so they do attract attention. Especially today when it was so calm on the deck, and clearly also at altitude, as the trails lingered for a long time.

There were two late this morning that came in from the NNW on the same track about an hour apart.

But, about over PER, they both peeled off strongly to the SE, not SW, so not looking like BQB was their destination. I could see neither on FR24 or FA - but being at the beach without my specs, I may have missed them. However, doing a FR24 playback just now, I see nothing resembling those flight paths overflying PER.

Your pic looks very like what I saw. What direction are you facing for your pic?

Image is from Galup looking north-east. I check FR24 to confirm the flight was to BQB as a FIFO flight.

Saw similar contrails on Saturday morning.

Only 1 photo, coz I don't want to get into trouble again....

Novotel, Denpasar airport, small plane in distance is a Aero Dili plane.

We are going to Lombok on a new airline and new plane. TransNusa and a Comcac ARJ21-700.

I have to investigate further next time. C'est La Vie.



Ciao for now....

Unfortunately not any decent options to Lombok from Bali anymore. Where you staying in Lombok?

I've hired a car, so we will do a bit of driving as well, must be close to 50 countries I have driven in, never been asked for an IDP, but of course, being a belt and braces person, I have one!

Enjoy, it’s a great place to drive and a stack of cool scenery along the way. Plenty of beaches to pull into and some stunning waterfalls inland.
Keen for a Pullman review as it wasn’t built last time we stayed in Lombok

That NE view confirms a SW turn, which would be towards BQB. What I saw were two very definite SE turns, which would be away from BQB. Puzzling.
