Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history.
This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all
If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!
For example, about 6 months ago, I operated the following trip pattern:
LHR -> GIG -> EZE -> GIG -> LHR
The Rio to Buenos Aires and back "shuttle" flight was a day of flying on its own, with 24 hours rest afterwards before flying back to London.
As for your flying, I just wanted to tell you good luck, we're all counting on you
