"What did I fly over?": flight path-based satellite layer

[daguar]

BLUF: A simple map-based app letting you explore via satellite imagery your own recent flight paths

My basic thought is have most of the map covered by a partially-opaque gray layer, with a clear carve-out over the selected flight's path.

An interesting problem here is calculating area viewable from the plane based on altitude, though could likely punt by starting with it uniformly using the viewable area at cruising altitude.

• Use FlightAware API for flight path data
• Use MapBox satellite imagery

So, apparently @migurski built this: http://www.mondowindow.com/flight/SKW776K?intro=true
