Real contrails might not be possible, but the Red Arrows (and many thousands of others) have been producing artificial ones for – well a long time anyway – by the simple expedient of using diesel smoke generators.
It might not be a perfect, but it might suffice.
The shutter speed is anoying when you freeze blades on a running engine because it’s too sunny!
I’m hoping to be able to cure that problem – or at least mitigate against it somewhat – with my Fuji S5000 by the simple expediant of having bought a cokin filter holder,which I have managed to fit to the front of my 1.5x Teleconverter. I should now be able to use ND filters (I’m getting a 4 and an 8) which should enable me to get much higher F numbers than the camera can manage normally. Trouble will be knowing which one to use for any given situation – or whether I should use both.
Unfortunately I no longer have a car, so I can’t get to anywhere except the deep southwest this year – and there are few airshows round here. 😡 🙁 😡

Kick me if I’m being too cheeky:
Yea Crimson Skies has the same sort of comic book look about it.
That last one, while a bit noisy, looks more like a very evocative painting than a photograph – great look.
Can I be cheeky and recommend you sharpen it (I use the unsharp mask in Paintshop Pro 7) and then clean up the noise with something like Neat Image?
Nice Rob.
Yeah – loved it – reminded me of those Saturday morning Sci-Fi serials we had at the Penn Cinema (Wolverhampton) in the ’60’s – only much better.

Dividends come from profits! So how come it’s gone bankrupt if there were profits to be distributed as dividends?
