Contrail Vis....C-130 hercules! 12-04-2010

Hardly contrail vis but this Lockheed C-130 Hercules was believe it or not at first picked up mistaken for a skien of birds as it tracked south over the basin this morning.... binocular contact soon dispelled that notion as it lost height to skim the moor top and on south.... somewhat distant and enveloped in heat haze but nevertheless an exhillarating experience!
