Cornholio 0 #1 May 9, 2003 Thought I would share this bit of animation for you folks. I thought it was quite amazing. From NASA, a stunning time-lapse video showing the air-traffic over the Continental US in a 24h period. http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/aero/facet24.mov Butthead: Whoa! Burritos for breakfast!

Jumperpaula 0 #2 May 9, 2003 That Link didn't work for me, but I have a feeling it would be too much information, anyway.... There's lots of traffic up there, but it's a big sky..right? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raefordite 0 #3 May 9, 2003 I got nothing when it loaded. I would like to see the studies that they did immediately after 9/11 during the time when all but military aviation was grounded. How much the jet trails were changing our weather, etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can you resize that bad boy or just crop it and repost it ? It's only 13.5 MB. C'mon guys on dialup - get with the times Heard of DSL or Cable modems ? Heh, I love my connection at work and my web host... a 13.5 MB file took only 8 seconds to upload to my FTP server Quote The transfer was successfully completed.

Jumperpaula 0 #12 May 9, 2003 Finally opened, and just as I thought. Too much info. I was very surprised at the Texas Traffic. Didn't realize so much more traffic went to Dallas, than goes to Houston. Wow... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pilotdave 0 #13 May 9, 2003 The scary thing is that's probably only aircraft on IFR flight plans. I dunno if I'd like to see that same thing for all planes in the air. Would be cool if they could make something like that that allowed you to zoom in on a certain area. I'd love to get an idea of the VFR traffic in the DC area these days. We're ALL talking to ATC (stoopit war-induced rule) so it sure sounds like a lot of us... even though its far fewer than it was before the new rules went into affect.

There was a site that showed anything with a transponder flying around (I think) LA. In fact, I'm pretty sure I got the link to that from here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
