Plane over Wodonga, Australia [Aircalin A330]

Not sure if this is the right place for this, please move it if required. A person has posted these photos on CGS f/b page and corresponded it to the incorrect aircraft on flightradar. I am positive it is not a beech300 but maybe 727?? This is the problem when you give people a tool and they don't know how to use it correctly. I just need someone that knows for certain to correct it, cheers.

Would this be more like it?

Ten people who liked this have recognised the most important similarity: these are two engine aircraft. The fact that one is a jet and the other is turboprop and the host of other minor difference: positions of the wing, shapes of the tail, livery etc., are completely irrelevant.

PS The number of likes is growing

I came up with the AirBus, also. The person at CGS even had that plane on their screen. I'm not sure why she picked the Beech 300.

CGS is awash with people who are incapable of using FR24 to identify planes.



N279TX is a Cirrus SR22. I highly doubt that is what this is! (Picture is of similar model, not exact same aircraft)

Someone was finally able to make the correction, and no one was called a troll or booted from the group.

The person who did it is one of their own, judging by the links she shared:

It is a chemmie's remix of a close-up video of planes and contrails made through a telescope, claiming that commercial aircraft spray chemtrails:

At this zoom level, the nascent contrails can be seen at shorter distances from the engines, therefore they claim that there is no gap between the trail and the engine, or it is far too short for normal contrails. An apparent increase of the trail optical density with the increase of the distance from the engine is muted.
