This is very interesting. Watch the actual flow of air traffic around the globe.... as day turns into night and then back into day.

Note 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 well known 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... other well known flows from our West Coast out to the Hawaiian Islands.

Look 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!).

  • @Jazz8584 LMAO....

    I think he has some problems in his computer. 

  • The resolution in your version of this video is poor - blurry image. But what I like is the music. It's cool. What is the name of this music? Can you make another version with better quality graphics? See other videos, where you can clearly identify the dots.

  • @Alban20077 open eyes, focus on screen
