Here are some things few people know about the Air Transport command: Most used air route in the world is not between Washing- ton and New York, not between New York and Chicago, but over “the Hump” between China and India. Traffic over this world’s highest mountain range, the Him- alayas, is so heavy that planes travel at different altitudes so there will be no collisions. One plane will have orders to fly at 22,000 feet, another at 23,000, and so on. Three or four different air routes are used across the Hump, also to avoid collisions. Next most heavily used air route is across the North Atlantic. The ATC sends a plane across the At- lantic every .58 seconds.
