White trail coming out from the tail of an A 330?!
Hello Guys,
Today an A330 from Cathay Pacific overtook us at FL 360. While he was going (like a Boeing
), I could notice a white trail coming out from the tail slightly on the left hand side of his butt. The trail was intermittent.. It last like 30 seconds then went away.. Any explanation? I know on the A 320 family the water used in the lavatory and galley are drained outside the airplane.. Not sure about the A 330. Could it be that?
Here's below the photo of the plane and his trail. Please click on it to make it full size.
Thank you.

A mini chemtrail perhaps? I suspect that your idea of it being waste water is what it was - it gets dumped overboard,unlike the toilet flush water that gets retained in tanks.

I was on the Baby Bus ( A 319) at M.79. Being overtaken by the big boys is an everyday thing on those busy airways. The other way around would be very embarrassing.
