I'm sure this is nothing…. but so rare for me to see it.

Last night between 8:30 and 9:00 over Northwest Iowa I looked up and saw a full size jet airliner flying so low that I could make out both wings and the individual contrails from each engine, which vanished just a few feet behind the plane as-normal. If a normal jet airliner is about 1/16-1/8" wide in the sky, this one was a good 1/4" wide. Over my position, it was taking a path roughly from Mason City, Iowa to Grand Island, Nebraska.

I'm guessing it was about 20,000 feet high…. thought to myself that's really low for a jet airplane. Haven't seen one flying that low for many years.

Ah but it's a beautiful country here. I would like to be in the Ozarks because I'm tired of them spraying everything to death, but it's still a beautiful country.

Most of the time we see planes flying over and they're just specks in the sky… can just barely make out the wings and can't make out individual contrails from each engine so this was really odd for me.

They're a true rarity here. A low flying plane is a little crop duster or helo…. a medevac here is cause to go outside and see wtf is going on… even though I do live close to a sub-regional hospital that gets medevac 3-5 times a year.
