By far, the worst day for flight traffic so far this year has been May 22, the Friday before Memorial Day weekend. There were 92 flights recorded passing by that day.
Update: The same day I wrote this post, a new record was set. Today there were at least 95 private jets and helicopters that flew overhead. What’s disconcerting is that, as far as I know, this wasn’t a holiday weekend. What’s even more disturbing is that a lot of these flights aren’t for getting from point A to point B, but rather joyrides and recreation. In other words, many of these climate-destroying flights are completely unnecessary.
If this recent data is any indication of a pattern, then this summer may see a record number of private jet flights, corroborating recent reporting on this topic. The rich are absolutely making this planet unlivable for the 99%.
