    The reason they turn is that there are big highways up there in the sky. Those planes follow the same route as others and converge tracks to form a line.

    I've noticed alot of triggered cupcakes in the comments of late, so I created this handy tool to show them how they are appreciated:
    Snowflakes: this is how it all works:
    1) Charlie makes a video.
    2) You watch, get triggered, comment and keep watching.
    3) Charlie gets paid from his TH-cam content via the algorithm that you now contribute to.
    4) Charlie uses that to make more fantastic videos.
    5) You get triggered again, comment again.......
    Thanks for playing your part in this ecosystem; ensuring there is always fantastic new content for us all to watch 👍
