Beauty...

is where you find it. Link.

Who knew looking at an animation of every airplane with a flight plan over North America would be so mesmeric? Not only does the FlightAware site holds such soothing beauty, it is also quite useful, allowing you to enter your airport, airline, flight number or the tail number of a private plane. It then spits out maps and graphs to show where all the airplanes are, which direction they're headed, the hourly flight volume of the airport, departures/arrivals, delayed and cancelled flights... and its free, without requiring so much as a registration.
