Watch the actual flow of air traffic around the
globe as day runs into night and then back into
day. Then see the well known increases in air
traffic congestion as the sun comes up in
Western Europe and North America turning their
airspaces into real beehives of activity.
There are also the other prominent flows: air
traffic across the North Atlantic, westbound
during daylight, eastbound at night. Watch how
each direction fires off like a water cannon as
the sun comes up in Europe, or goes down in
North America. The expected flow across the
North Pacific and other well known flows from
our West Coast out to the Hawaiin Islands.
The one I wasn't expecting is the volume of
traffic flowing from Europe across the
mid-Atlantic southwest to Brazil.
However, what I enjoyed most was looking at how
lonely it must be flying the south Pacific
between Argentina/Chile at the southern most tip
of South America over to Australia - - just a
couple of aircraft (or just two aircraft between
Australia to South Africa!). Lonely days and
lonely nights out over all that water while we
sleep . . . everybody's got to be somewhere I
guess. Many of us can certainly relate to what
we see here. Enjoy
