Suggestion: Aircraft in Flight

[jimerb]

It would be really neat to be able to see aircraft in flight. Like a little icon next to the airports icon.

I would love to be able to visualize how aircraft are using wind and different elevations to save fuel. Sort of a commercial industries version of analyzing the weather.

How are they hugging the jet-stream? Are they avoiding strong head winds? How are they avoiding hurricanes?

Maybe a Turbulence layer?

There are probably other benefits for people who work in the Airline industry that I'm not thinking about.

And If you clicked on a plane it could tell you it's expected arrival time. Helpful for Livery services to help paint a full picture of possible delays in turbulent weather.
