General aviation flights following the Eclipse!

More than double the number of regular general aviation flights took to the skies to fly to a better viewing area or watch the eclipse from the sky.

I have great pity for Air Traffic Control dealing with that.

[johnallen]

Like a swarm of bees or ants gathering food. 👀 Fascinating!

[mehcks]

this is awesome! I hope you publicly list this video

[Aviation]

Awesome... I was flying one of the Cessna's through that. Figured I'd give Burlington Approach a call to see if there's any chance I could get flight following back home. "Unable flight following, there's too many of you guys" lmao

0:09 reminds me of
“Hey guys, come look at this!”
*shows phone*
Guys: *runs off*

[Aviation]

That is super cool, especially when you get to see it on the radar like that. I love Flightradar24 for those reasons!

[photon]

love how this video shows both the GA flights going to the eclipse path and all the traffic for the sun n fun fly in

[BlackRedsPlaneSpotting]

Flight Radar 24 has a YOUTUBE CHANNEL?! You don't know how this helped me SO MUCH to planespot over the last 3 years!! New Sub Here!!! Keep it up!!!!

[stawastawa]

Yay! I hoped to see some thing like this.

Props to the ATC who Handled planes at my Hometown (MCI/KMCI)

[SEBBARU]

Why did this video suddenly make me feel itchy?

[havam]

I love it how they just all leave once its done 💀

[GlenAndFriendsCooking]

I was one of those flights! CYOO -> CYSC then after the eclipse CYSC -> CYQB

[YJI]

lol this was awesome! I would've never thought about this lol

[Jorric]

I saw multiple jets flying and chasing the eclipse from the ground, it was so cool!

[DemonDogAW]

Fascinating how you can barely tell they're doing it until the line breaks

[heatshield]

That’s pretty great. I was following a few planes which were trying to get to the path but I didn’t know there were so many. Not surprised though.

[themarylandaviator]

Why is this so funny, the planes go to the midwest and leave right after

[scarylarryboss]

at 0:07 you can see all the planes that are going to view the solar eclipse from the sky

[theelephantintheroom]

it reminds me of that ant desktop smasher application on old windows computers
