Dave McKeegan's flightradar24 animation converted and animated for multiple globe locations

In ‪@DaveMcKeegan‬ video • Why flights don't make... he mentioned he could only animate FlightRadar24's flights transformed to a globe from the prime meridian.
I decided to take the animation from that video and use the code I wrote earlier to project onto a globe and play that animation sequence from multiple locations.

Great work Bert, it looks great 👍🏻

Thanks.

Great stuff, Bert (and Dave, obviously!)

Comment for the algorithm.

Fantastic work! Might be interesting to see side-by-side using the azimuthal equidistant projection with the globe, showing that the flight paths make more sense for one than the other. Also, though the dataset might not allow it, set a different color for some aircraft to make it easier to track them visually along their paths when things get dense.

That done entirely from the playback of the flightradar24.com site. I can animate for different projections but tracking specific flights is not so easy. I’d have to recreate the view that was captured with their dataset that they don’t make readily available.

Loving the soundtrack Bert.

[@bertrickles15]

Thanks. I have about 30 (or 50?) KZbin music library tracks downloaded at the ready to pick from. I went with some of the lesser picked ones this time.

@@bertrickles15 Interesting! That was an enjoyable experience watching aircraft flying great circle routes around the globe.
