Canada and Australia have it pretty good looking at that. Pretty low key.

Did you ever see Dallas from a DC=9 at night?



Oddly enough I have lived in DFW 25 years, but I grew up in Arkansas but never even went to DFW until I was 25. I don't think I ever went west of Ft Smith before 1986. Everything we did was east.

kind of weird now that I think about it, now I hardly ever go east of Pensacola

I’ve seen this image many times, but never noticed until just now that it looks like Hawaii and California are lobbing ordinance at one another

Just follow the daylight for increased or decreased activity.
Nothing else but population.

Mexico has a surprisingly open sky. Or maybe it just looks that way because the US is so busy.

That’s cool. The US and Europe showing where the money is.



It also highlights that the developed parts of South America are the coastal cities only. Their horrible inland road and highway network prevents a lot of investment away from the coast.

That's apparent with the lack of air traffic originating from inland parts of south America.

ETA - Australia too.

I think what you're seeing is W/NW Mexico, nothing but mountains and drug kingpin lairs, Mexico has a very busy airspace

very cool to see how traffic from north america to europe picks up at night and then europe back to north america picks up during the day.

I like using this Flightaware Live Map

The other day I saw an odd plane taking off at LFT. Looked it up on flightaware and it turned out to be 'con air'.

Seeing this incredible illustration of the number of flights in a 24-hour period makes one appreciate the technology that keeps them flying.

Every time I see this thing it puts the safety of Air travel in perspective for me. All those flights in the U.S. taking off and landing safely everyday. With few exceptions.

If there was 1 commercial aircraft crash every single day somewhere in the world, it would still mean that 99.9% took off and landed safely.
