Aircraft two was flying exactly through, and on the same heading, as the contrail left by aircraft one!

Surely a rare occurrence to have no jet-streams at that altitude?
They could both be following an airway that just happened to point directly into the wind on that particular day.

As the jetstream is a comparatively narrow stream there are more areas of airspace without a jetstream than with.
