"white noise" monitoring?

A web site that is fun to play with is the Great Circle Mapper:
http://gc.kls2.com.

The great circle between NYC and Shannon goes right through the middle of
Newfoundland, so I bet that's what I saw. I guess with winds, etc, there is
an outside chance I saw part of Iceland, but I'm pretty sure it was
Newfoundland. If you fly from NYC to Helsinki, you go over Iceland.

Aircraft that fly between the US east coast and Western Europe do not
fly the great circle route. They fly the NAT tracks and sometime the
tracks are far to the south of the great circle route and sometimes
they are far to the north.

I guess it depends on the message. I'd rather my neighbor hear "have
another drink" than "cut up the guy next door and stick him in your
fridge!"

Agreed!

The fridge isn't big enough and I'd have to take out too much food to get
close. He'll have to go into the deep freeze in the garage.
