Near Mid air collison?
Hello, on june, 29. 2009 Isaw in the sky over Tallinn, Estonia manouveur I tried to describe on attached picture here:
Can anyone explain it, was it something serious or just some routine? For backround info: there were 2 other planes, one before and one after who flew same route as plane who made such rapid turn on picture, one around 15 min. before and other around 30 later. and they both flew straight, no turns whatsoever but why this one made such manouveur, especially as other plane was on the above shown course?

Not having seen what you say, it's impossible to say with any certainty. Did the aircraft produce a contrail? If you saw the contrail making a movement like what you've shown on your picture, it may simply have been winds aloft moving the ice crystals in the contrail.
, but seriously, those were two passenger jets, passing over 30 000ft high.

Judging from the trees and the fact that they appear to be small jets I'd reckon they were somewhat lower than 30,000 ft...
In fact, if you magnify the picture they look more like drawings than of real aircraft..???

Hmmmm....
This picture strikes me as odd.
- The contrails start suddenly for both a/cs. Normal comm a/cs contrails can be seen for a few miles long and the end will usually be blown partially by the wind.They will also be wide and wispy. Not thick and solid like this.
- Both a/cs look similiar and a bit strange. They are painted green.
- And TCAS resolution advisories are usually fly up or down. Not turn left or right.

The contrails have been added with an image manipulation software, presumably as aid to the tracks of the two AC
I think Wingr already says this in his emails although not that clearly
I would put the height more around 6000ft
certainly not 30000ft
Always very hard on the ground to judge vertical separation, unless both are of similar size.

It was not wind, as i saw the plane making manouver just before they crossing each other routes. Manouver looked exactly as the trail I drawed on picture. As it was avoiding other plane and turned behind it.
