Darwin is an important link in many old and new air routes and aviation. A vital link between Australia and the rest of the world.
A lot of it is unseen, but pass overhead the aircraft do........with monotonous regularity.
Sometimes, especially at night you can hear aviation traffic overhead, or even see an aircraft by the moving navigation lights. Darwin is a way point, where slight adjustments to the course are made, so coming close is a regular occurrence for many commercial aviation operators.
Last night was unusual with two north bound aircraft leaving very large and conspicious con trails in the sky above Darwin, a few minutes apart. They hung in the sky for maybe 30 minutes, without dispersing, two obvious pink con trails illuminated by the setting sun.
Even captured one on camera, with the light of the rising moon.
Enjoy the view - going north. Leaving Australia.
