An alarming flight map shows the staggering number of flights over the United States two days ahead of Thanksgiving — despite officials urging Americans not to travel for the holiday amid surging coronavirus cases.

FlightRadar24, which tracks flight paths in real-time, reported 6,972 flights in the skies above North America as of noon Tuesday — fewer than the 7,630 flights on the same day in 2019 but more than the 6,815 flights on the same day in 2018.

Something must be done, we can’t have people exercising their Constitutional rites.

I love seeing Americans giving the double eagle to commie authority figures. Warms the heart.

Panic monger. Get a life and live it and keep out of the lives of others. The author must live Alice of fear and despair.

Awesome! I take this as great news. A remnant of America lives. By the way, here’s my take on the COVID vaccine:

Test the vaccine on members of Congress.
If they survive, the vaccine is safe.
If they don’t, the country is safe.

I track airplanes thru Flightaware, I have a Raspberry Pi, SDR and Antenna and pickup their tracking beacons...for the last 5-6 days, the number of planes over my house within a 100 mile radius is up 30% or more....my top 3-4 days of the year have happened during the last few days.

You’ve seen nothing yet. Wait until the Dems, should they attain the White House, begin re-prioritizing vaccines away from the People based on ideology and identity politics. We must supply the world , you see, and the deplorables in red states will come last.

Many, many will die because of them.

It’s just the flue/s

Since mostly old people are going to die from it, doesn’t this help stabilize Social Security?

Many flights. Probably far fewer people even than the 2018 figure they give.

I suspect a lot of people think this’ll be their last chance before even that gets shut down.

Did officials ground the flights? No? Then I guess there is no problem.

I truly believe the American people have been pushed to far. The next catalyst (if any) will be in the reaction of the tyrants to this massive extension of a rigid middle finger directed squarely at them by the folks.

I am much heartened by this display of a seemingly coordinated GFY directed at the Pol scum bags.
