Mystery Airbus
« on: March 30, 2009, 07:38:45 PM »
Hi All,

Noticed 3 x East to West "Trails" this morning.
On checking with my trusty Binos, I saw that one was a 747F in EKA colours, and the other two looked like DLH (or Jet Airways) A330 aircraft, one behind the other.
Checking my RB, it showed N415MC and D-AIKN, but there was no trace of the other A330.
Is there anywhere that I can refer to that would have given me the third Aircraft ?
Sorry if this seems a dumb question - just curious....

It would help to pin down what you might have seen if firstly you tell us where you are and then if you can be a little more precise about the time than simply "this morning".

I have D-AIKN logged westbound yesterday (over southern UK), but that was around 13:30 local time.

Dur ! Sorry - Brain in neutral.
I'm 20 miles or so SW of Heathrow, and the time was actually around 1pm or so ( my wife put me straight)

I was actually curious whether there is, for example, a Website where people's logs are available, something like ACARS logs, etc..
