mm43:
Interesting flight animation your provided: thanks for that.
What is striking, for this SLF anyway, is that AF447 is the only aircraft during the time line as provided in the animation, that seemingly made no attempt to skirt the red blob around TASIL. AF459 didn't make much more of an attempt either whereas the other aircraft did.
Very interesting animation indeed.
I stand corrected: AF459 did indeed zig zag around the area where it was the KLM flight then seemed to take great pains in skirting the red blob.
