Flight patterns will blow your mind

THERE IS A SCIENCE to flight patterns that most people don’t realize. This visualization of the most common flight patterns around the world is super trippy, but also puts things into perspective. It made me realize just how many flights take off each day, and how close they are to each other while in the air. While it seems overwhelming, it also helps me appreciate how safe and technically advanced the aviation industry is.
