Thank 'ya, Gunner.

Yes, the exhaust trail looked very much like the one you showed above.

Without any photo proof though, it is just my word on what I saw . . . : (

Saludos,


Tulio

If you are talking about what is commonly called " doughnuts on a rope" type of contrail, I have seen them over Portland, Oregon twice. Both time were several years ago.

Yup, seen'em quite a bit myself. The last couple of pics in Gunner's post might be something else (vortices from winglets on jetliners?), but the "donut on a rope" effect in the first couple shots is unmistakable.

Hey, we had to replace the Habu with *something*, didn't we? I just want to see it in the static display park at Langley AFB's show one of these days. ;)

You're not nuts, Tulio... well, no more than the rest of us, which likely comes as cold comfort. :lol:
