Pogue’s Flying Tricks

20130325-174758.jpg

David Pogue, personal technology editor at The New York Times, posted something wild on his Facebook page yesterday. His fiancée was flying from San Francisco to NYC to meet him while he was flying from Salt Lake City to JFK. They were both landing at the same time. During his flight, David checked the position of his fiancée’s airplane. Yikes, he discovered that he could practically toss a bag of peanuts at her.

I couldn’t figure how he managed to track both flights on the same map so I finally emailed him. This is what I got back.

“I used flightaware.com. I superimposed the two flights in Photoshop.”

Love conquers all.
