The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

I’m Thankful
I have more blessings in my life than you want to read about. So, let me stick to the one pertinent to the theme of this blog.
I’m thankful for a President that doesn’t think he needs to open up fictional “express lanes” for the Thanksgiving Day air traffic rush.
(Somebody forgot to clue Congressman Hodes in.)
Happy Thanksgiving, guys. Thanks to one and all for reading.
