Okay, this is not what I had in mind when I sat down to write this morning but I can go with it. Head over to James Fallows’ blog at The Atlantic and read “Buzzard Strike”. It’s worth it.

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.”
