The country does not resemble the air traffic control zones
Interestingly, air traffic control in the United States is divided into zones and sectors rather than states. As shown on the map above, there are 21 zones in the continental United States. Each of these zones is centered on a major city like Houston, New York, or Washington, D.C.
However, air control does not end there. There are sectors and airspace with a diameter of 50 miles within these 21 zones. All of the country’s airports are located within a five-mile radius of each other in each section of airspace.
Not only can maps help us compare sizes, but they may also disclose a surprising amount about what happens in different parts of the world. Continue watching and you’ll most likely be fully pleased…
