A new spotlight of attention on US flights
Browse over to Wolfram Alpha, type "flights overhead" - now marvel (or recoil in horror) at this new WA feature.

Well that link is pure nonsense. Who cares about the slant angle of aircraft trajectories? What possible use does that hold for anyone? ...But I have to confess, I have not heard of this guy and it appears I should have, if he came up with "Mathematica" and was a valued contemporary of Richard Feynman the legendary particle physicist. Makes me think of other gifted persons who became wholly distracted. Not as rare an occurrence as one would think.

Very handy if you need targeting info near an airport for that shiney new MANPADS you buddies just sent you from Libya.
