Probably nonstop flights from European cities to Chicago or LA.

Careful; chemtrails.....

[EasySt]

Yup, there’s an app for that... More than one, in fact.

No need to guess. Flightaware will tell you. Live Flight Tracking

Those aren't contrails. It's atomized aluminum oxide. Often mistakenly referred to as chemtrails.

Oh sure, there’s apps for that.

But it’s more fun to imagine.

I traveled for years about 20 years ago. I really enjoyed being in the air and trying to identify what I saw on the ground. Flew out of Chicago for many years. Flying over Lake Michigan was always pretty cool because as a teen and early twenties I belonged to a club that sailed the MANATRA, a decommissioned Coast Guard cutter that was 125’ long. We’d sail around Lake Michigan to Grand Haven, South Haven and Traverse City. It’s awesome to see Sleeping Bear Dunes from the sky.

One thing about me, if the flight was smooth I could never sleep. If it was rough I’d fall asleep in minutes. This was before electronics so I always had at least two books with me. Almost always some thriller. I must have read five or six hundred books over the years.

I can’t imagine being a regular flier now. It used to be fun. No TSA goon patting you down. Heck, when I started traveling non ticketed people could still meet you at the gate. I forget when that changed but it was a long time ago.

Yeah, I watch those planes from my yard in southern CT and wonder the same things.

Once I was on a plane and Jesse Jackson was aboard. There was only about thirty people on it. What a conundrum. I wanted the plain to crash but I was on it.

"Wow, that must be Connecticut down there. Starting to change color. Looks like a gorgeous day, there's a guy sitting on his deck there, with his drink and his phone, wonder what he does for a living, how his life is going... How I wish there were some way to let him know I'm thinking of him, from way up here, even though I don't even know him..."

Living under one of the important corridors between East Coast airports and Europe we see many such planes overhead...heading east *and* west.That could mean that they're heading to Europe (in the evening) or toward US airports in the afternoon.

So they're likely to be 777's,A330's,A350's,A380's,787's and 747's.

Just FYI...there's a website called "flightradar24.com" that costs about $10 a year.Lots of fun stuff to be seen if you have free time and $10 that's burning a hole in your pocket.

Ct, they are going in and out of NY and Boston and Bradley too.I am out by UCONN and Logans path is directly over head so Mohamed Atah was up there too.
