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.”

In case you can't get enough of GBH's, Cornell Ornithology Labs is hosting 2 live cams of a nesting pair conveniently located directly in front of the Lab! Well, 50 feet up in a dead oak in the middle of the pond in front of the lab, but still... Just laid their 4th egg last evening, and Dad is currently doing nest duty. Cornell Ornithology Lab staffers are moderating the chat.
