Paths of Flight is a video from GE Aviation that illustrates the intricate choreography of air traffic. The take-offs and landings of many flights were combined into a short film that reveals the beauty of air traffic.
Many of the Paths of Flight images are like images of migrating birds. The aircraft seem to move as a flock, one following another in an endless stream across the sky. Check out the video to see the choreographed beauty for yourself.
