Fascinating visualization of FAA flight data (thanks Russ for the link!).

Some interesting take aways for me:

  • Watching the whole US go dark in the middle of the night
  • Watching the early morning explosion of flights on the east coast (as well as European flights landing around the same time)
  • Seeing the grid light up east-to-west as people wake up and get on planes
  • Check out the huge amount of traffic going to Hawaii
  • Noting that the number of trans-Pacific flights seems substantially lower than the number of trans-Atlantic flights

I found the first two movies the best ("The U.S. as seen by the FAA" and "Color coded aircrafts").
