NPR: Flight Patterns Revisited

Flight Patterns Revisited

Aaron Koblin talks with the BPP about his animation.

We posted this amazing animation from designer Aaron Koblin last week, and got quite a response around the Interwebs. Koblin's work focuses on animating data points to visually represent human behavior. We spoke with Mr. Koblin to get a better understanding of what his flight pattern animation tells us about human behavior.

You can check out the video again after the jump.

Is there a way to predict flight patterns for a day. Do they have designated flight patterns over certain cities. I live in Peapack, NJ, and some days I don't get a break from air traffic and other days are much more tolerable. I record outside twice a week there, and I am looking to plan my days accordingly. If you have an information on this it would be appreciated. Thank you very much.
