Don't think those streaks are auroral
Well to my eye those streaks could well be a coronal form of the aurora, and on closer inspection there's also some evidence of red patches, which you do get with the higher energy auroral displays.

Like others, I'm more than a little skeptical that you can do a 30 second exposure from a plane on a NOPAC route and still get sharp star images, even with a 10.5 mm lens. And, if the exposure was actually 1/30th of a second instead through an EXIF data typo, I don't think you would see the Andromeda Galaxy even with the great sensor on the D800 (M31 is high in the center of the first picture in the gallery linked in the first post on this thread).
Well from the NAT tracks I believe
it is perfectly possible to capture images that the professional aurora researchers can use...perhaps using a standard lens, ISO 400 film, 30 second exposure....You do however need to adopt a bit of a scatter gun approach (lots of frames, hope 1 or 2 are OK).
I would however agree that M31 might well be a stretch, must have a look at some of my old "work" when I can find it to do a comparison
but it's very much old tech....
the shorter the focal length the longer the exposure can be without trails. 11mm I have taken 90 second exposures and no trails visible.
Like wise.
Now, about the red low level glows............
