    Very cool. You should consider an additive blending / heatmap effect for it.

    Right, but then brightness wouldn't represent altitude :).

    I have some other additive blend animations, perhaps I'll put them online. Thanks for the compliments.

    You could keep color as height and just vary intensity.

    Its interesting but I find myself desperately wanting to see trends. The flight lines decay so fast; the data is too ephemeral to grasp or draw conclusions from.

    Looks like the FlightView data is proprietary; I'd have liked some sample data to prototype out a version with bloom & way slower falloff.
