Hi

Making this shot for my mother's cousin, he's a pilot and he flew this aircraft a few years ago as a captain

(now he's flying Embrear ... something )

not completely finished yet

A couple of thoughts...

First there are no navigation lights, strobes, or beacon visible.

Secondly, the engines are putting out some heavy exhaust trails which typically happens at lower alititudes, but the clouds look like the plane is high altitude enough to be leaving contrails instead.

If the plane is low then fuel consumption is higher and the exhaust trails are good. If still climbing below 10k feet, the maybe also the landing lights would also still be on.

If the plane is high, fuel consumption has dropped off, and contrails will show up as you go higher. But up there you don't climb as steeply.
