Planespotting from home, what a difference the #weather makes: British Airways 787 Dreamliners approaching PDX in different weather. 787-10 on a sunny☀️ day Wednesday (4 days ago) and 787-8 on a rainy🌧 day today. I'd guess the rain is more like home for the Brits, right? #KPDX #aviation #avgeek #travel #PNW

Planespotting from home: IcelandAir A321LR (neo) descending out of the cloud base leaves visible condensation in the vortices behind the outer edges of its flaps. Conditions have to be just right for the condensation to be visible. This effect disappeared as relative humidity decreased slightly as it descended farther below the clouds. #KPDX #weather #aviation #avgeek #travel #PNW

@ai6yr Yeah, that was a lucky catch. It has to be just emerging from the clouds for the condensation in the vortices to happen. We had some rain bands passing through the area so everything was rapidly changing.
