Another rare atmospheric phenomenon, the dissipation trail, or "distrail" is essentially the inverse of the aircraft contrail (condensation trail). As an airplane flies through a layer of clouds, if temperature and moisture conditions are just right, its exhaust gases will evaporate the cloud's water droplets cutting a blue sky trail. I had never seen one of these before. This shot was taken over the Porto coastline and luckily my camera was within reach. "pics from the office" is a selection of photos taken from the Airbus A320, A330 and A340 operational environment. This blog is focused on Aviation rather than on the technical aspects of photography. Feel free to comment. Thanks for your visit!

Olá Tiago! Eu só tinha lido sobre a existencia disto e fiquei incredulo quando o ví. Estava muito vento e só tive 10 a 15 segundos para o apanhar antes que desaparecesse. Agora já não foge ;) Grande Abraço!
