Unusual details

 

The morning before Thanksgiving 2022 I was out for a walk and saw planes that appeared to be on very close flight paths. But it is difficult to judge from the ground. And the AirNav data show that they were much farther away from me on the ground that I thought.
The map represents 1 minute.

 

Another anomaly is a plane turning over New Rochelle to get in line to land at LGA (pink arrow) does not leave enough room behind it for a plane already on a straight shot to LGA (light blue arrow) and the second plane needs to divert and get back in line as a delay tactic to keep its distance.
I've looked at hundreds of these and this is the first time I noticed a plane bearing SW in line to land having to divert from the line.
At the last timepoint shown here, there is a plane bearing NW crossing the path of the diverted plane which appears very close, but it is at a higher altitude as depicted by different color reds (lower elevation #ff1a00 and higher elevation #ff5600). Frame intervals 15 seconds.
