Paths of Flight - Awesome Video!

This is such a cool and unbelievable video. A crew filmed airplanes taking off and landing over a course of 24 hours, then combined it into a clip less than 2 minutes. It shows the beautiful choreography in the sky that most of us are totally unaware of, whether we are on the planes themselves, or on the ground.
