This has been my screensaver for about a year or so. You can set it in two versions. One is "accelerated" and shows little dots on a world map that move to show where the flights are, one for each flight. The other option is "normal speed" and this shows the same little dots along with random flights as a line between two destinations along with the airline/flight# info. Really quite cool. It also shows the number of flights "in the air". I have no idea how this is generated, but suspect it must be based schedule info rather than actual real time.
The accelerated version is fun as it shows flights arriving and departing the various hubs. For example, the early morning period shows all the flights departing FRA, then they all come back home in late afternoon/evening. The normal speed version has taught me alot about where *alliance flies.
