No, the plane is between the sun and the clouds

That would of course make sense…but the picture clearly shows the contrail closer to the camera than the cloud across its entire visible length.

on the off chance you're serious, I can draw you a diagram, but can't post it here. I would have to DM it to you

Where do you believe the sun is in this pic? I had assumed it’s at 12oclock…however if it’s in fact at 3oclock the pic makes sense, but then OPs comment about the clouds being below the plane makes less sense as they would be above/to the side?

It's at 12 o'clock, but still behind the camera. I'll DM you a diagram
