I rendered higher frequency observations lighter, and higher altitude observations towards the blue hues. I love the results I got, especially the clear holding patterns on the arrivals.

If you’re wondering what those circles are on the arrivals – those are called stacks. And they change depending on if it’s easterlies or westerlies (direction of take off and landing). It’s how they in Terminal control (based in a different control centre to the Heathrow tower) get the aircraft all to line up nicely.
Where are you getting the data from?
Really interesting – thank you! Presumably, the actual airport is the precise dead centre of each image?
I reckon one of the great pleasures of landing at LHR is seeing all the central sights of London when you travel westward down the Thames. I reckon it’s one of the most interesting approaches in the world.

Amazing, but I think the composite should show the different inbound/outbound trails differently. Like this:

What software did you use to make this?
