This is obviously a flight route.  It continues across the eastern 
coast line of England.  There are other flight routes over 
Germany.  I recorded my own (Ryanair) flight from Frankfurt (Hahn) 
to Sweden (Nyköping), and I think I uploaded that track to OSM as 
part of my Frankfurt track log. There should be a turn around

Traffic flight routes are not random.  They follow certain paths 
and are allocated at certain altitudes.  Maybe they should be 
mapped, just like motorways and bike paths?  Or maybe not.
