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.”

Tivo Alert 8-14-11
It’s like Christmas at Get the Flick. Fareed Zakaria -- of Global Public Square -- came up with the best Facebook headline I’ve ever seen:
“GPS this Sunday: Krugman calls for space aliens to fix U.S. economy”
You can’t top that. I don’t care who you are.
That’s this Sunday -- August 14th -- on CNN at 10AM and 1PM EST. Here’s the teaser.
