[OSM-talk] Flight "paths" in OSM

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?
