Sweet...

Why does it look like so many flights land halfway between Hawaii and Cali? There's nothing there but if you look, a lot of the east bound flights from Asia seem to land there.

Weird. But that site is freekin' awesome. I could see the Hawaiian Vacations charter flight from Anchorage to Honolulu and back. :D

They probably fall off radar coverage.

so at any given time of day, there are a minimum of 4000 planes are up in the air... and we hear of plane crashes how often ? Remarkable.

EDIT > Link above shows as few as 1000 sometimes. :confused:

Thats sick how you can see the outline of the US by the planes in the air. I never realized some of the flight patterns before seeing this.
