Aviaticus Cloud

I find jet contrails to be fascinating. Here is a jet going over Eugene, and the Aviaticus Cloud it created. I didn't know that they have a name all their own, Aviaticus Clouds or Cirrus aviaticus. Just something I learned on the Internet! Here is a link for Cirrus Aviaticus - http://www.chitambo.com/clouds/cloudshtml/aviaticus.html

Cirrus clouds are very high in the atmosphere and are made of ice crystals, so these clouds must form around the frozen water in the upper atmosphere. Nicely captured action shot. Voted.
