Forum rules
ImageThis is the forum to share your recent aviation photos with the rest of the community, being photos not older than six months at the moment of topic opening. Theme-based topics, not about recent events, should go into the sub-forum.
Although we will not screen beforehand, we reserve the right to delete any images, especially if clearly unsharp or otherwise low in quality. For more information on how to upload you images, check this post.
In topic titles, please use airfield names in stead of just codes, and be clear about what kind of photos your viewers can expect (e.g. CIV/MIL, location etc.).

Finally, bring any photo criticism understandable and to the point, not cynical or offensive! Simultaneously, do not feel offended by criticism per se, but simply explain your motives, taste et cetera, or ignore if you wish so.

Hello to the community,

very nice picture, but what do You think is coming out of the left wing tip?
A contrail, but nothing on the starboard side?
Overpressure vent, letting off whatever?
Or a real fuel leak?

Regards
Tommy

Fuel from the vent tank.. perhaps a very small fuel imbalance or a slight bank angle, resulting in a left side trail ony..
