There's something almost organic about the flow of air traffic around the world. The main route between Europe and North America in particular reminds me of the flow of cellular material in creatures like the amoeba.

I found it interesting how the world's airplanes seemed to flow into Europe in the first part and then flow out as the day went on.

Really cool.
