Seriously. Europe is covered with “planes”. Unless this is a map of 1920’s USA.

Yeah, I have or had a link to a website that had hundreds of planes flying. You could filter which corridor you wanted.

If you go to this link you can get much Flight data also you may want to look at the Main/Home site! My Freeper(M1-A2) son/Nerd uses this for many situations and questions.
