Absolutely amazing the amount of aircraft in the air around the world...

Thanks for that Link AP. It is fascinating looking at all the the planes and where they are coming from and where they are going

And to think it's gone from almost zero to this in just over a century.

Its amazing we don't have more of them crashing into each other - a testimony to the great work done by air traffic controllers.

Gary, you say it is amazing to think it has gone from almost zero to this in a century. I reckon you could have counted the number of commercial planes in the air at any time in the 50s on a couple of hands, and that is a long way short of a century.
It only really started to take off (no pun intended) AFTER the fuel crisis in the 80s, when inflation was rampant, and the cost of flying became affordable.
Last century internal flights in China were limited, then around 2002 it started to change, look at it now, but it is still just the first 300km from the coast.
Compare the flight density between Australia, and Europe. They will need indicators and traffic lights in Europe soon.
