Contrails over CBR

Was on a turn-around in CBR around 0830 this morning and had my attention drawn to these.

Departed to the south (to the left of the picture) from the orbits then hooked around north.


Any idea what it was about - and forget about chemtrails etc.

Was out for a run at the time & saw them too - started about 8:20?

Looked at Flightradar about 8:30 but nothing showing

I remember during a previous US President's visit, military Jets doing laps around Canberra at a discreet height. If you knew they were there then you could spot them, otherwise barely noticeable. Maybe some practice for Uncle Joe's visit?

You couldn't miss the noise of an F/A-18 or 2 overhead 24/7

Looks like Audi's rings, or some Yank saying "'Owdy!"

Testing personal gloc records.. or stuck in the round-a-bout system.. take your pick. Trail looks sharp so presumably an F-35 doing F-35 things

Actually, I was inside at the time when the contrails were mentioned to me - and the walk round wasn’t what I was asked to do.

Gotta look after the old neck, Ram.
