Hi all,
please, look at this:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/way/80906020

It's a flight "path" from one airport to another. It's absolutely not real
(aircrafts fly along routes and navpoints more like "zig-zags", not the
straight grand circle ways).

Imo this data is garbage. None of these points reflect any real data. A
grand circle between 2 random airports in the world can be calculated, but
there's no need to store all the calculated grand circles in the OSM db.

Any other opinions?

Agreed.  That's a new account.  I'll send a note to the new mapper.

I've seen other flight paths in the data too, so he's not the only one.
