They're like bugs attracted to the sunlight. Grin

How there is not constant chaos from all of that is a tribute to all of those in the industry. Cool

Interesting to note patterns in the flight paths, if these actually are the accurate flight paths. Noticed a few heading over the north pole, that would be fun.

I remember reading a book by an Air Canada pilot, he said they flew over the north pole in their A345 from Toronto to Hong Kong and Tokyo. There was something they had to caution due to radiation from the sun.. can someone else elaborate on this?

I think I've heard of that too. Something about the Earth's magnetic field not being as protective from the sun's radiation near the poles.

Very cool map indeed. Goes to show just how much of a workload air traffic controllers get.
